Ms.

McClendon, are there any additions, deletions, or comments to the calendar this evening?

There are none, Your Honor.

Thank you.

Ms.

Dixteen, are there any additions, deletions, or comments to the calendar this evening?

Your Honor, I have no additions or deletions to this evening's calendar.

I do have a few items to highlight.

So we're excited to bring that forward this evening.

Item number five is a contract modification from an original contract in uh 20 from 2023 with Optica Consulting.

This item is a third renewal uh of existing technology consulting services agreement for $373,866,000 through June of 2027.

The original contract was initially managed by our IT department.

Optica provides specialized technical support for critical police technology systems, including body worn cameras, in-car cameras, mobile data computers, electronic crash and citation systems, license plate readers, which are the axon in car cameras.

And so occasionally optical will need to switch a camera out if there's a faulty camera.

That is the only is only the axon.

It has nothing to do with our flock LPR systems.

Services include maintenance, troubleshooting, vendor coordination, technology planning, after hour support for mission critical systems.

Funding for this agreement comes from the photo enforcement reimbursement fund and does not impact the city's general fund.

There are no changes to the terms of the original agreement that was uh initially approved in 2023.

The renewal ensures the continued operation and support of critical public safety technology systems that officers rely on every day to serve the community safely and efficiently.

A delay in this contract would create safety issues for officers and community members by compromising the support needed to keep in car systems operational which ensures officers have critical information when responding to calls for service.

So I wanted to make sure that you had that context given some of our challenges with regards to the Flock LPRs.

Award item B7 is an award of contract with Colliers Engineering and Design Incorporated.

This is our um contract to begin the planning study for uh US 35 uh restoration community connectivity and uh for 2.4 million dollars this was a grant that we received we had an RFP process and we had four respondents uh this collier's engineering was selected because of their strong community engagement strategy that they presented as well as their light projects experience so there will be um uh broad uh public engagement and transportation planning activities with this planning event so we're excited about that opportunity and finally items nine ten and eleven are our tax sharing agreements due to our TIFFs and CRAs out at the Dayton International Airport and the JET out there this is part of our um economic development strategies of logistics and distribution at that uh at those sites that sit situate at the I 7075 corridor uh the these income tax sharings are a result due to uh state law as we put incentives in place uh with regards to TIFFs or CRA and our return on investment we have received over four million dollars of annual income tax revenue created over 3400 jobs and um have uh and it is supporting 13 tenants in 10 different buildings that have been built out there um at Dayton International Airport so we're excited about that as well and that I believe is all I have this evening to highlight your honor thank you Miss Dixtein Ms.
