03:09be paid by the city to the vendor under

03:11this agreement. So who do we have before

03:13us?

03:15>> Good morning. Jim St. John I'm serve as

03:17the 911 director and for this purpose

03:20I'm here for the communications

03:22department and this contract is uh for u

03:27service on police and fire radios. Um

03:32the uh contract's been in place for over

03:35five years

03:38and this contract is unique in that it

03:42includes a period of warranty that we

03:47haven't experienced before because the

03:49council provided new portable radios

03:52that uh walkie-talkies

03:55uh for the police and fire departments

03:56that have been under warranty and

03:58continue to be. So, uh, typically this

04:01contract has been about $290,000

04:04per year. For the, um, extent year, it's

04:08been $140,000

04:10because it's only had to provide service

04:12for the vehicle mounted radios. Uh, this

04:16will end and that's why you see that

04:19larger number for the second year. the

04:22uh first year is just to provide the uh

04:26the maintenance on the mobile radios

04:28that are mounted. So, this is a uh

04:31continuation of the same service

04:33contract that we've had in the past

04:35where police and fire can get their

04:36radios fixed if they have something that

04:38breaks after warranty. Um the next year

04:42it will be a higher amount uh because

04:45those radios will come out of warranty,

04:47but I'd be happy to answer your

04:49questions about it.

04:50Um we're going to send this to the

04:52council. Um it'll be on the agenda. Um

04:56if we somebody requests a public

04:57hearing, so just make yourself available
