Fire chief presents corrected CAD screens proposal; trustees to consider on regular meeting agenda
Summary
Fire Chief Vlietstra told trustees a corrected proposal for CAD screens would link crews to EMS reporting and produce analytics on response times; the 12-month contract is in the 2026 budget and trustees agreed to place it on the next regular meeting agenda.
Mayor Terry Matthews opened discussion and asked Fire Chief Vlietstra to explain a proposed contract for new computer-aided dispatch screens.
Fire Chief Vlietstra said the proposal distributed in the packet was incorrect and he provided the corrected version to trustees. He described the software's function: "This software will allow the crew to link to EMS service reporting which will track a lot of data and produce reports for response time, call data and other analytical data for reports." He told the board the contract is included in the village's 2026 budget, is for 12 months, and "does not need to be renewed if not feasible." After the explanation trustees agreed to place the item on the next regular Village Board meeting agenda for formal consideration.
The discussion did not include a final vote or vendor price in the Committee of the Whole. The chief framed the software as a data and reporting tool for emergency-response metrics; trustees deferred final action to the next regular meeting where they will consider the corrected proposal and any related contract language. The board did not record a specific motion or vote on the contract at this session.
