South Vinemont reviews TextMyGov communication platform with $5,000 three‑year price
Summary
Town leaders heard a TextMyGov presentation describing resident alerts, event messaging and a work-order option; the vendor outlined a $500 setup fee and $1,500 per year on a three‑year contract (summarized as $5,000 total).
Mayor Radginal Dodson and the South Vinemont council heard a remote presentation on TextMyGov at the Aug. 13 work session about using the service for weather alerts, road‑closure notices, park and recreation notifications and event messaging. The presenter described an optional resident work‑order feature for potholes and downed trees.
The TextMyGov representative told the council the vendor charges a $500 initial setup fee and $1,500 for the first year with a three‑year contract; the presenter summarized that structure as a $5,000 total for three years. Mayor Dodson invited questions; none were recorded in the minutes.
Council members did not vote on the purchase during the work session, and minutes record only that discussion continued. The council may return the item to a future agenda for formal consideration and any procurement action.
