LIGHTNING PREDICTION SYSTEMS <br />Vice Chair Bowden sought to clarify her understanding that this was a sole source <br />provider of lightning prediction and was the only one in the United States. Commissioner Davis <br />also had concerns when he saw the "sole source provider", and that there were no competitive bids. <br />He heard that Vero Beach High School has used the same provider and they were satisfied with the <br />system, which has placed him in a more comfortable position. Vice Chair Bowden's concerns <br />were that no one else in the Country has the system, and whether staff had gone to look at it. <br />Administrator Baird provided background on the system, and after discussions <br />regarding the use of the system, he offered to pull this item and bring it back with a presentation. <br />Commissioners agreed and expressed the desire to hear from others who may have used this <br />particular system for a period of time. <br />September 11, 2007 8 <br />
