A RESOLUTION OF THE LODI CITY COUNCIL
AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE A MEMORANDUM OF
AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY OF LODI AND THE COUNTY OF
SAN JOAQUIN REGARDING PARTICIPATION IN THE SAN JOAQUIN
COUNTY UNIFIED MASS NOTIFICATION SYSTEM
WHEREAS, the purpose of the Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) is to establish mutually
agreeable guidelines for allowing the City access to, and use of the County MNS system; and
WHEREAS, San Joaquin County (SJC) obtained funding through the Homeland
Security Grant Program to secure the Everbridge System service through July 30, 2021. The
Everbridge System is an information delivery system intended to provide sufficient early
warning in the event of an emergency, and to deliver actionable information intended to
enhance public safety; and
WHEREAS, the term of the MOA will remain in force and effect until end of current
contract, or until such time as: (a) grant funding for the County MNS is reduced or
discontinued; (b) the Everbridge System is no longer used as the emergency notification
system for the County and a replacement approved by Parties is not found; (c) either Party
provides sixty (60) days' written notification that they desire to terminate the MOA and
withdraw from participation in MNS; or (d) either Party provides written notification of a
violation of the terms of the MOA and/or the Policy and the other Party does not cure the
violation within ten (10) days; and
WHEREAS, the County will continue to pursue additional grant funding for the
sustainment of the project beyond July 30, 2021. As long as grant funds continue to fund the
total costs of the Everbridge System, the County will make this service available to all
participating cities within the County at no additional cost. If the grant funding should
discontinue, the County will provide the City of Lodi with the proportional cost of continuing
to utilize the Everbridge System, and the City will have thirty (30) days in which to notify the
County of its intent to participate. If the City elects to continue, the MOA will remain in place,
and the County will bill the City for its proportional share. If the City declines to participate,
the MOA will terminate at the conclusion of the thirty (30) day period.
