The Board reviewed Amendment #5 to the existing agreement with IXP Corporation for the Public Safety Emergency Communication Center. Purchasing Agent Charles J. Volpe noted the prior executed contract extension covered July 25, 2025 through July 24, 2026 at a total cost of $2,972,160.00. Mr. Gentile submitted the Amendment #5 requisition, which would extend the service through July 24, 2027 at a total cost of $3,056,844.00.

Mr. Gentile moved to approve execution of Amendment #5; D. Garrick seconded and the motion carried unanimously. The minutes record that the amendment provides for automatic one-year renewals unless either the City or IXP gives six months' written notice of intent not to renew, with renewal-year terms subject to negotiation.
