DISCUSSION
On December 18, 2017, City Council approved an agreement with PM AM Corporation for the management and administration of the City’s burglar alarm systems and false alarm ordinance.
PM AM Corporation has requested an amendment to the original contract for false alarm services to include the additional services of accessing the City’s computer system to extract and collect historical data pertaining to the City’s false alarm program. A backup copy of all data from our production servers will be placed on our test servers to allow the vendor to extract the historical alarm data from an area with the least amount of intrusion to the system. This work will be done in conjunction and supervised by the City’s IT department. PM AM has agreed to collect the historical alarm data for use within the new alarm management software without a fee to the city.
IMPACT ON CITY RESOURCES
No appropriation of funds is necessary. There is no fee for the extraction of historical data
