telecommunication service because it holds voicemail boxes for all City staff and functions as
the automated attendant and information "tree" for all telecomm calls coming into the City; and
WHEREAS, on March 21, 2005, the City's voicemail (ActiveVoice) server
unexpectedly went out of service; and

vendor, Nexus Integration Services, to rectify the problem, it was determined that the voicemail
server and software needed to be replaced immediately; and
WHEREAS, Section 2.60.230A of the National City Municipal Code provides

equipment or contractual services, the City Manager may authorize the purchasing agent to
secure in the open market at the lowest obtainable price any supplies, materials, equipment
or contractual services, regardless of the amount of the expenditure, provided, however,
that any expenditure exceeding the city manager's established approval authority shall be
later ratified by resolution of the City Council after the emergency is resolved.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of
National City determines that an emergency situation existed as described hereinabove, and it
is found to be in the City's best interest to have waived the bidding requirements for the
