NEW BUSINESS
911 Upgrade Update
Chief Craig Moser reports on 911 Upgrade: 911 upgrades were approved in the 2015 budget.
During the planning process it was discovered that the Village of Mukwonago and Elm Grove
were planning to purchase the same equipment. IT Director, John Wisniewski researched
sharing equipment with the other municipalities and found there to be a significant cost
savings. Originally the cost was $115k per municipality, by sharing equipment there would be
a 35% savings brining the cost to $75k per municipality. Attorneys for all three municipalities
are reviewing the sharing agreement.
IT Director, John Wisniewski gives a technical overview: There will be one core piece of
equipment (Host) to be housed at the City of Muskego. The Village of Mukwonago and Elm
Grove will be remote locations. By doing this upgrade the physical limitations of existing
equipment is eliminated allowing for municipalities to share equipment and route the traffic
through a networking concept. If the equipment is purchased by June 30, 2015 we can realize
a 35% discount. Equipment will be 911 compliant and will have the technology for texting and
video to 911. At this time the video technology is not available until the State upgrades its
systems.
Question: Alderman Kubacki, How many municipalities can be supported? Answer: 500 Piece
Apps
Question: Alderman Wolfe, Is equipment upgradeable? Can we add on to it? Answer: Yes
Mayor Chiaverotti comments on the trend of 911 texting.
Development Sureties
City Attorney Eric Larson reviews amended 2013 Wisconsin Act 280; Developer Letter of
Credit and Performance Bond
Question: Alderman Kubacki, What form is most appealing to Developers? Answer: Bonds. It
is similar to purchasing an insurance policy.
Question: Mayor Chiaverotti, Can we proceed without changing the ordinance? Answer: Yes
Question: Alderman Wolfe, Should we move forward now to change the ordinance? Answer:
Director, Jeff Muenkel will come forward at a later date with a change. We are currently in the
process of recodification.
