County signs INA Alert service agreement to cover doors, cameras and panic alarms
Summary
The Ottawa County Commission approved a service agreement with INA Alert for monitoring doors, cameras and panic alarms to avoid hourly technical-support charges; staff recommended the $330/month contract and commissioners voted 3-0 to accept the proposal.
Keith Coleman, Facilities Director, presented the commission with a proposed service agreement from INA Alert Technology & Service for building door controls, cameras and panic alarms and recommended signing the contract to avoid a new hourly charge for technicians.
Coleman said the county would otherwise face a new $110.00 per hour technical support rate starting Jan. 1; the recommended service agreement cost is $330.00 per month, includes continuous monitoring, and offers a 10% labor discount if technicians must come on site. Coleman said he believes video data are retained for about 18 days. The commission accepted the proposal on a 3-0 vote.
The contract approval was presented as a routine facilities-management decision aimed at ensuring continuous remote monitoring and predictable support costs. The county did not state the contract term length in the meeting record; staff recommended signing and the motion passed with Commissioners Mortimer, Grund and Morris voting in favor.
