   Assistant City Administrator, Tia Messino, noted that in 2022 the city switched to First
  Comm for a VoIP system and by doing so there were savings. Currently staff is looking
    to do another renewal so that the city can keep the same provider. She noted that
   there will actually be additional savings with the terms of the new contract. Alderman
   Myers asked   if  there are  other  alternatives  other  than VoIP.  Assistant  City
