Lapeer County Properties Committee recommends switching public alerts to Motorola Rave Alerts, splitting $10,500 annual cost
Summary
The Properties Committee voted to recommend to the full board that Emergency Management not renew CodeRed and enter a three-year Motorola Solutions Rave Alerts contract costing $10,500 per year, split equally among Lapeer County, the sheriff and central dispatch ($3,500 each); the chairman was authorized to sign.
Lapeer County’s Properties Committee on Feb. 12 recommended the county stop renewing its CodeRed service and enter a three-year agreement with Motorola Solutions Rave Alerts for public alerting.
Whaley of Emergency Management told the committee there was an incident on the current CodeRed platform and that Motorola’s Rave Alerts service offers “more capabilities for further programming/apps for the County.” Whaley said the sheriff’s office and central dispatch had confirmed support for the change and a shared funding approach.
The committee approved a motion recommending that the full board authorize non-renewal of CodeRed and the entering of a three-year agreement with Motorola Solutions Rave Alerts. The motion specifies a total annual contract cost of $10,500 to be split equally among Lapeer County, the Lapeer County Sheriff’s Office and Lapeer County Central Dispatch, with each entity paying $3,500. Payments were recorded to be charged to accounts 101-172-809.000 (county), 207-301-809.000 (sheriff), and 261-325-809.000 (central dispatch). The motion carried and the chairman was authorized to sign the agreement.
The transcript records the vote only as “Motion carried”; specific roll-call tallies were not provided. The committee recommended the contract to the full board for final approval.
Next steps: the recommendation will go to the full board for action and the chairman is authorized to sign the agreement if approved.
