Pre-RFPPublic SafetyDetected Jun 3, 2026

During the FY27 budget workshop, the City Manager reported serious issues with the city’s camera maintenance agreement, including Wi‑Fi and connectivity problems, and noted that currently no security cameras are operational. The existing camera vendor has been asked to provide quotes for maintenance and equipment, indicating the city is actively evaluating how to restore and possibly upgrade its camera infrastructure. This is an early-stage planning signal that Delaware City will likely spend on security camera repair, replacement hardware, networking, and potentially a new maintenance agreement in FY27.A vendor could help the city define options (repair vs. replace, cloud vs. on‑prem, network remediation) and build a budgetable scope before they commit to a specific solution or long‑term contract.

Existing camera maintenance agreement has produced unexpected costs and nonfunctional cameras, suggesting dissatisfaction with the current provider.

Budget Planning

Springfield Township Fire Department is asking voters in August 2026 to renew and combine its two operating millages into a single 2.0‑mill levy. The 10‑year renewal (2026–2035) will fund day‑to‑day fire and EMS operations, including staffing, equipment, vehicles, stations, supplies, and training. If approved, this stabilizes funding for fleet replacements, protective gear, ALS medical equipment, facilities, and communications. Vendors in fire/EMS equipment, vehicles, training, and station services should track the outcome and engage the department on multi‑year replacement and modernization needs once revenues are secured.

Millage renewal is not a new tax but restores rate to pre‑Headlee rollback level (2.0 mills vs curre...

The Title IX policy lists supportive measures such as counseling, schedule changes, escort services, increased security, and monitoring of certain school areas as tools to address sex-based discrimination and sexual harassment. These measures must be coordinated by the Title IX Coordinator and provided without cost to parties, implying operational and possibly contracted supports. This opens potential needs for counseling services, security staffing, and monitoring technologies (cameras, access control, incident reporting) tied specifically to harassment response.

Escort services and increased monitoring may be handled internally now but scale or specific inciden...
