body
BACKGROUND
Wine Down Media, LLC has been providing Napa County residents with consistent and effective communication through multiple channels as a fundamental part of community goodwill. This service allows the community to receive information in times of non-emergencies about emergency preparedness, response, and recovery efforts. In events Napa County considers emergencies, as determined by the Napa County Office of Emergency Services (OES), the County can choose to broadcast directly from Wine Down Media's facility to provide all the important and up-to-date information it needs to disseminate to the public through mass messaging.
Napa County uses Wine Down Media to provide preparedness, response, and recovery information to the public. This is a redundant communication effort as we found through various disasters that the public benefits most by having different communication channels with verified information from OES. OES would like to extend the term of the agreement to ensure this redundant communication method remains available and to extend the impact we can have on the community.
Requested action:
Approval and authorization for the Chair to sign Amendment No. 2 to Agreement No. 190210B with Wine Down Media, LLC extending the term through June 30, 2025, with an automatic rollover of two additional one-year terms with no net change to the maximum compensation rate of $36,000 for effective emergency services communication.
