From the meeting
Town Manager LeAnna Surratt said software programmers were working to make a text alert system for utility billing customers fully operational by the end of the year. The work is already underway, so the buying decision appears to have been made. A vendor may still have follow-on value around setup, testing, support, or expansion to other town notices.
