Report Inappropriate Comments

bill123, first of all, I'm speaking for myself and myself only and am not campaigning for anything. At times I think your comments are somewhere 'out in the ether'. The Mutualink system was purchased before I was ever elected. At that time, I was a parent of two kids in our schools and I supported it. I did then and still do. The purchase of the system was public record, held in public meetings with public comment, and voted on publicly. At times I think you intimate that something other than an open process was used. None of the arguments made at that time, if I remember correctly, were ones that stated this system was necessary because of 911 problems or inadequacies. You continually reference the issues you have with the 911 system and have, I think, suggested that the system and the APP are superfluous because we have a 911 system. Further, the APP is not a community APP for anyone to add to their phone, hence your inability to connect to it. Nor is Mutialink a system for all city buildings. It's for school buildings and employees only. The video link you provide that "shows the bad things can that happen when first responders take too long" just reinforces the point of the system - which is that it reduces the response time by directly notifying the first responders in addition to routing through the 911 system. I provided news articles from other communities in other states that use it and you want me to somehow tie-in their rationale to Warwick's rationale for using it? I think it's pretty obvious and you completely misread the reason why I provided that info. Lastly, I apologize for the bad video link - I can see it when I cut and paste into my broswer and the video plays. . It's from Florida TV station WFTV9 and the video clip is titled "Teachers use app to give active shooter alerts in Central Florida"
