6:39 PM OLD BUSINESS

6:39 PM Motion to approve the purchase of an APEX ID System for all Village Departments from IDVille at a cost of $3,235.75; Moved by Schmidt, Seconded by Clark.

White commented he feels we are antiquated in technology, and in particular, key entry cards. Would like Fulton to check if this system can be used for swipe card entry to Village buildings. Mayor noted that while he thinks this type of system would be a good idea; it is not feasible until the mine subsidence is settled. This system will be capable, but would be an expense to Village Hall that the insurance carrier has advised not to make. White noted that a similar system done in Glen Carbon was approximately $12,000 and feels a card entry system would be worth the cost even if we would have to abandon the existing building to move to a different building. Vallino asked what is the security with a card entry system, discussion followed. White commented he doesn’t feel this would be an exorbitant cost. Clark noted she has customers that have pending mine subsidence claims for 25 years. Mayor commented he doesn’t feel there is a security issue currently with the building. White agreed not really for a security issue, but more for a convenience. It was also noted that keys will still be needed as a backup in case the system fails.

Vote: Motion carried by unanimous roll call vote (summary: Yes = 6).

Yes: Vallino, Schmidt, Bell, Kostyshock, Clark, White.

6:47 PM Motion to approve the purchase of two (2) APX 6000 700/800 Model 2.5 Motorola Portable Radios for the Police Department from Motorola Solutions at a cost of $9,379.14; Moved by White, Seconded by Clark.
