Votes at a glance: Warrenville committee recommends disposal of surplus IT, CPSM contract, Orbus camera work and prosecutor renewal
Summary
The Public Safety & Finance Committee recommended approval of an ordinance to dispose of surplus IT equipment, authorized staff to pursue a CPSM police assessment contract ($48,500 + travel), recommended an Orbus camera contract ($65,136) with a maintenance agreement, and approved a short-term renewal for city prosecutor Christine Showitz.
The Warrenville Public Safety and Finance Committee took several committee-level actions and recommended that the City Council approve the following items:
• Disposal of surplus IT equipment: Assistant Administrator Morgan presented a draft ordinance authorizing secure data wiping and recycling of older city IT assets through Orbus and local e-scrap options. Alderman Al Genenberg moved approval; the committee approved by voice vote (tally not specified).
• Orbus security-camera upgrades: The committee recommended waiving competitive bidding and approving a $65,136 proposal with Orbus Solutions, Inc. for camera replacements and a server, plus a $9,000 annual maintenance agreement. Deputy Chief Dawson said Orbus committed to add missing cameras while staying within budget; an updated contract was pending.
• CPSM police operations assessment: The committee moved to waive bidding and directed the city attorney to draft a resolution to contract with the Center for Public Safety Management for $48,500 plus up to $5,000 in travel costs; the motion passed by voice vote.
• City prosecutor contract renewal: The committee recommended renewing the city prosecutor contract with attorney Christine Showitz from June 1, 2025 through Dec. 31, 2025. Chief Benia said Showitz is retiring later this year and her fee will increase by $10 per session; committee approved the renewal by voice vote.
• Adjournment: The committee adjourned after approving the agenda items.
Notes on votes: Committee approvals were recorded by voice votes in the transcript; explicit roll-call tallies were not recorded in the meeting record provided.
