Director (Speaker 2) told trustees that staff met with the two top security companies that submitted proposals and brought in a representative from 9-1-1 and a Mr. Hubs to assist the review. "We had a meeting with both of the top security companies that had given us proposals, and we brought in Steve Dirks from 9 1 1 also," Speaker 2 said, adding the recommended scope and price.
