Village to replace 9-1-1 workstations; state grant covers cost
Summary
Supervisor Brian Weiss recommended replacing aging 9-1-1 telecommunication consoles at a proposed purchase price of $122,805.11. Weiss told the board a State of Illinois grant of $308,000 will cover the consoles and remaining funds will complete payment for Emergency Medical Dispatch software.
Supervisor of Communications Brian Weiss told the Committee of the Whole that the telecommunication consoles purchased in 2002 are outdated and hard to maintain, and recommended replacement consoles from vendor XYBIX at a proposed purchase price of $122,805.11. Weiss said he has secured a State of Illinois grant for $308,000 that will cover the cost of the proposed consoles and the remaining grant funds will cover the final payment for a multi-agency Emergency Medical Dispatch (EMD) software grant administered last year.
The Committee did not vote on the purchase at the Aug. 18 meeting; Weiss placed the item on the Sept. 1 Village Board agenda for formal consideration and appropriation as required.
