Speaker: Judge Haden/ Jon Craigmile/ Danie Teltow; Backup: TBD; Cost: $153,850.00]

OF KOLOGIK, A THREE YEAR SERVICE AGREEMENT FOR CALDWELL COUNTY SHERIFF'S OFFICE IN THE AMOUNT OF ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY THREE THOUSAND EIGHT HUNDRED AND FIFTY DOLLARS ONE YEAR AND FORTY SEVEN THOUSAND SIX HUNDRED DOLLARS ANNUAL MAINTENANCE COST ONE YEAR FOR A YEAR, ONE AND TWO. THIS IS THE SOFTWARE THAT'S GOING [INAUDIBLE] IS GOING TO USE IN THEIR CARS AND FOR DOING THEIR [INAUDIBLE] REPORTS, IT'LL KEEP THEM OUT IN THE FIELD A LOT MORE.

[00:10:02]

DO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? AND WE HAVE WE MADE A COUPLE OF CHANGES TO THE CONTRACT.

CHASE, IF YOU'D LIKE TO KIND OF GO OVER THOSE, I'D APPRECIATE IT.

YES, COMMISSIONERS, LET ME PASS OUT JUST A ALMOST FINAL COPY OF THE CONTRACT THAT WE'RE CURRENTLY WORKING WITH.

I'VE GOT ONE. OK.

AND ALSO, IF YOU HAVE ANY ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS.

CAPTAIN [INAUDIBLE] IS HERE ALSO.

AND ALSO JULIE PRESCOTT FROM KOLOGIK IS HERE.

ORIGINALLY, A CONTRACT WAS SENT TO THE SHERIFF'S OFFICE AND THEY HAD WORKED OUT AN AGREEMENT. THERE WERE A COUPLE OF ISSUES THAT WE SAW WITH THE CONTRACT, SPECIFICALLY HOW KOLOGIK WOULD HANDLE ANY UPLOADED DATA TO TO THE SERVICE AND HOW THAT DATA WOULD BE RETURNED TO US ONCE THIS AGREEMENT TERMINATED IN ONE WAY SHAPE OR FORM.

AFTER DISCUSSING IT WITH KOLOGIK, WE REALIZED THAT WE COULD ACTUALLY GOTTEN A COPY OF THEIR OLD CONTRACT AND NOT THEIR UPDATED ONE, WHICH YOU HAVE BEFORE YOU IS THEIR UPDATED CONTRACT THE SPECIFIC TERMS THAT RESOLVE OUR ISSUES ARE SEVEN POINT THREE.

IF YOU LOOK AT A FIRST OFF IT, JUST IT'S A WARRANTY THAT WE ARE IN FACT THE OWNERS OF THE INFORMATION THAT WE UPLOAD AND YOU'LL SEE THE [INAUDIBLE] NEXT TO CUSTOMER.

THAT'S ONE OF THE TYPOS THAT NEED TO BE FIXED ON THIS.

THAT IS THE REASON YOU DON'T HAVE A FINAL COPY BEFORE YOU THIS MORNING.

ALSO, IF YOU LOOK AT SECTION 10 IT INCLUDES A GENERAL INDEMNIFICATION SO THAT IN THE EVENT THAT GENERALLY WE'RE NOT GOING TO BE ABLE TO SUE EACH OTHER, BUT IN THE EVENT THAT ONE PARTY BREACHES THE CONTRACT IN A PARTICULAR WAY, WE'LL THEY'LL BE ON THE HOOK FOR ANY SORT OF LEGAL FEES AND COSTS THAT COME FROM A LAWSUIT FROM A THIRD PARTY.

LASTLY, IF YOU TURN TO ELEVEN POINT FOUR THAT TALKS ABOUT DATA RELEASE, IT GUARANTEES THAT TERMINATION OF THE CONTRACT, SUBJECT TO AN APPROVED WORK ORDER FOR THE COST OF COPYING THE DATA AND RETURNING THE DATA TO US THAT WE ARE, WILL WE HAVE THAT DATA RETURN TO US IN FULL.

LASTLY, JUST CONFIDENTIALITY, THAT'S TWELVE POINT TWO IS THAT BOTH WE AND KOLOGIK WILL ATTEMPT TO KEEP ANY CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION CONFIDENTIAL SHORT OF WHAT'S REQUIRED TO BE RELEASED BY LAW THROUGH, FOR EXAMPLE, THE PUBLIC INFORMATION ACT, AND THAT SHOULD MEET ALL THE CONCERNS IN THE OLD CONTRACT.

THE SHERIFF'S OFFICE HAS LOOKED AT IT AND HAS GIVEN THEIR OK.

JUDGE HAYDEN LOOKED AT IT THIS MORNING AND HE GAVE HIS OK.

AND FROM WHAT I FROM WHAT I CAN TELL, THIS SHOULD MEET ALL THE NEEDS THAT THAT THEY HAVE.

IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS I'M FREE TO OR HAPPY TO ANSWER THEM.

ANY QUESTIONS COMMISSIONERS, IF NOT, I LOOK FOR A MOTION FOR THE APPROVAL OF KOLOGIK TO A THREE YEAR SERVICE AGREEMENT FOR CALDWELL COUNTY SHERIFF'S OFFICE IN THE AMOUNT OF ONE HUNDRED FIFTY THREE DOLLARS, ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY THREE THOUSAND EIGHT HUNDRED FIFTY DOLLARS AND A FORTY SEVEN, EXCUSE ME, FORTY SEVEN THOUSAND SIX HUNDRED DOLLARS ANNUAL MAINTENANCE COST. SO MOVED, WE HAVE MOTION, DO WE HAVE A SECOND? I'LL SECOND IT. WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND ALL IN FAVOR, SAY AYE, AYE.
