Pre-RFPInformation TechnologyDetected May 11, 2026

Under new business, Clerk Randell Fox noted that the town is paying an extra 7 dollars per month for an unlisted number on a phone line that has not worked since before January 15, 2026, and that Frontier is charging 135 dollars per month for landline and internet. He recommended replacing the current landline with a phone solution that provides call forwarding, giving the town a permanent phone number independent of the individual town clerk. This discussion indicates dissatisfaction with the current Frontier landline service and an intent to explore alternative telephony solutions, likely involving VoIP, call forwarding, and potentially bundled internet/phone services.Telecom and IT providers can help the town evaluate options to reduce cost, ensure reliability, and set up a permanent, clerk‑independent main number, including migration support and basic call routing features.

The existing phone line has been nonfunctional for several months while the town continues to pay for service, increasing pressure for change.
