Proposed Ordinance 001214 -22 consents to the assignment of the alarm monitoring and maintenance agreement for the Library from Omni Alarm Services ( "Omni ") to Alarm System Group Monitoring, Inc. ( "ASG "). Omni has expressed that it desires to assign the monitoring and maintenance portion of its agreement with the City because it found that it did not have sufficient infrastructure to handle marketing, installation, monitoring, and maintenance. After extensively researching other companies who could take over the alarm monitoring and maintenance portion of its business, Omni chose ASG based upon its performance, customer satisfaction and financial stability and has assigned all of its existing monitoring and maintenance agreements to ASG. However, Omni will continue to work closely with ASG and will provide ASG sales and installation services. As provided in the contract, the City must consent to it in writing. It is expected that the assignment will not adversely affect the services received by or warranties previously given to the City, as ASG has assumed all of Omni's obligations under the agreement between Omni and the City. Monitoring will remain in Houston; the monitoring station will not change; and the phone number for service remains the same. ASG has been providing security and fire monitoring and maintenance services for its customers in the Houston Metro area since 1987. r. Proposed Resolution 001214 -1 requests the sheriff to sell certain property at a public sale pursuant to Section 34.05(c) of the Texas Tax Code. In 1997, the Legislature amended the Tax Code to allow taxing entities to sell via a public sale property held by a taxing entity as a result of the receipt of an insufficient bid at a tax foreclosure sale. At a public sale, the property will be sold at a public auction at the courthouse door of the county on the first Tuesday of the month, between the hours of 10:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. The acceptance of a bid at such a sale is conclusive and binding on the question of its sufficiency. As such, it is believed that this process will provide the City an efficient mechanism for (i) returning deteriorated or unproductive properties to the tax rolls, (ii) Page 12 of 18 Minutes of the Regular Meeting — December 14, 2000 enhancing the value of ownership to the properties neighboring those which have been bid off to the City in tax foreclosure sales, and (iii) improving the safety and quality of life throughout the City.
