12)e) Discussion: Overview and findings about UpAhead Gov and Zoom Call with TextMy Gov
Discussion:
Clerk Randall spoke with the board about the issues involving UpAhead gov. The board, along with the guidance of our attorney, has chosen not to move forward with UpAhead Gov due to misrepresentation. UpAhead Gov made false statements that induced the Village to enter into the agreement and feel the agreement itself is void due to these misrepresentations. Clerk Randall had a zoom call set up for the board to hear from TextMy Gov and after felt much more confident with the decision to proceed with them.
