E-mail [email protected] before the Council discusses the item, noting the agenda topic or number in the subject line. Comments received up to three hours before the meeting will be distributed to the Council and included in the record but not read aloud during the meeting..
The Mayor has the authority to rule any speaker out of order, including speakers during the Public Comment period; If the subject raised is not within the subject matter jurisdiction of the City Council, during a public hearing or a general business item if the speaker is not presenting testimony or evidence relevant to the matter or if the speaker becomes disruptive to the proceedings and conduct of the meeting.
The Mayor also has the authority to order any person who willfully interrupts the meeting to be removed. All persons are expected to always conduct themselves with civility and courtesy. All persons giving comments shall speak directly to the Council and address issues, not individuals. Personal attacks, cursing and outbursts from the audience in support or opposition to a speaker are not tolerated to foster an environment where everyone feels welcome to speak.
LEVINE ACT:
The Levine Act (California Government Code Section 84308) limits campaign contributions that may be made to elected or appointed City officials (including councilmembers and the mayor) and certain candidates for elective city offices. The Act prohibits an agent of a party from contributing any amount to councilmember while a proceeding for a contract valued at $50,000 or more, permit, license, or other entitlement for use is pending that does not solely involve purely ministerial decisions. The Act also prohibits parties and participants in the above entitlement proceedings from contributing more than $500 during the proceeding and for 12 months after the proceeding and requires disclosure of the prohibited contributions. The Act prohibits certain officials, including local elected officials, from taking part in an entitlement proceeding if the official has received a contribution exceeding $500 from a party or participant in the proceeding within the preceding 12 months. An official is also prohibited from accepting, soliciting, or directing a contribution exceeding $500 from a party or participant in the proceeding for 12 months after a final decision is rendered in such a proceeding. The law is complex, and this brief description is not legal advice. If you or an agent have made any campaign contributions to a councilmember in the 12 months before a proceeding in which you have an interest or you are contemplating making a contribution within the 12 months after such a proceeding, you are urged to review the Levine Act and consider consulting an attorney. The California Fair Political Practices Commission (FPPC) is responsible for administering the Levine Act. More information about the Act and its implementing regulations can be found on the FPPC’s website here:

Ring Central Phone System
STAFF REPORT
Meeting Date: March 24, 2026
Agency: City of Belmont
Staff Contact: Jason Eggers, IT Manager, [email protected] Agenda Title: Five-Year Agreement with RingCentral for a Cloud Hosted Phone System Agenda Action: Resolution
Recommendation
Adopt a resolution authorizing the City Manager to negotiate and execute an agreement with RingCentral for a cloud-hosted phone system, in an amount not to exceed $170,406.43, for a five-year term with the option to renew subscription services annually, and to negotiate and execute amendments as needed to add, modify, or remove licenses.
Strategic Focus Area
Fiscal and Organizational Sustainability
Background
The City requires a reliable and robust communications platform to deliver high-quality customer service to the public and effectively support its operational objectives. The City’s current phone system, ShoreTel, was implemented in 2014. In 2017, ShoreTel was acquired by Mitel. In 2022, Mitel announced the endof-life of the ShoreTel/MiVoice Connect system, originally indicating support would continue through 2029. However, in 2025 Mitel accelerated the support timeline and moved the end-of-support date to December 31, 2025. As a result of this change, the City’s system is no longer receiving operating system updates, patches, or security updates.
Analysis
The change in support created an urgent need for the City to identify and implement a replacement phone system that meets current operational needs. IT staff conducted interviews with City departments to gather requirements and identify desired features, which informed the development of a comprehensive set of criteria and functional requirements for a new system. In addition, staff consulted with peer local agencies that have recently transitioned away from the ShoreTel system to evaluate how alternative solutions are performing in similarly sized organizations.
Based on this research, several vendors were identified and invited to demonstrate their solutions.
Following these demonstrations and further evaluation, staff recommends the RingCentral platform. The Ring Central pricing and contract are part of a competitively solicited, publicly awarded cooperative contract for local government agencies.
RingCentral offers three license tiers: DigitalLine Unlimited Advanced, DigitalLine Basic, and Additional Local Number. The Unlimited Advanced plan includes all features and functionality requested by staff, 29
Ring Central Phone System
including voicemail, SMS messaging, and fax capability.
The current phone system is $4,529 per month and new phone system will be billed on a monthly basis at a cost of $2,592.47 for a five-year term. The total cost of the five-year agreement with RingCentral is $170,406.43.

Upon expiration of the Initial Term, unless otherwise set forth in the Order Form, recurring Services will automatically renew for successive periods of the same length as the Initial Term (each a “Renewal Term”) unless either Party gives notice of non-‐renewal at least thirty (30) days before the expiration of the Initial Term or the then-‐current Renewal Term.

3. Invoicing and Payment
A. Prices and Charges.
All prices are identified in US dollars on the Administrative Portal or in the applicable Order Form unless otherwise agreed by the Parties. Additional charges may result if Customer activates additional features, exceeds usage thresholds, or purchases additional Services or equipment. Customer will be liable for all charges resulting from use of the Services on its Account.
Unless otherwise agreed between the Parties, recurring charges for the Services begin on the Start Date identified in the Administrative Portal or in the applicable Order Form and will continue for the Term. Recurring charges (such as charges for Digital Lines, product licenses, minute bundles, and equipment rental fees) will, unless otherwise agreed between the Parties, once incurred, remain in effect for the then-‐current Term. RingCentral will provide notice of any proposed increase in such charges no later than sixty (60) days before the end of the Initial Term or then-‐current Renewal Term, and any such increase will be effective on the first day of the next Renewal Term. Administrative Fees that RingCentral is entitled to pass on to its customers as a surcharge pursuant to applicable Law may be increased on thirty (30) days’ written notice.
Outbound calling rates will be applied based on the rate in effect at the time of use. Customer may locate the currently effective rates in the Administrative Portal.

If you wish to upgrade a Rental Device, the replacement of the current Rental Device shall be deemed a termination of the Rental Services with respect to the current Rental Device and be subject to the termination provisions hereof, including the return or purchase provisions for the Rental Device set forth in the Return or Purchase Rights section of this Rental Agreement; provided that the Rental Services for the current Rental Device shall be deemed to terminate, and the Rental Services of the replacement Rental Device shall commence, on the date the replacement Rental Device is recorded as delivered by a designated courier.

RINGCENTRAL EMERGENCY SERVICES POLICY
SOURCE: MSA_ 5.B.ii https://www.ringcentral.com/legal/emergency-‐services.html Operation and Limitations of the RingCentral 911 Service Date of Last Revision: March 15, 2018
This policy forms part of, and is governed by the Customer Agreement and/or the RingCentral Terms of Service, as applicable. Terms used herein but not otherwise defined shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Agreement or the Terms of Service.
RingCentral provides access to emergency calling services, allowing most RingCentral users to access either basic 911 or Enhanced 911 (E911) service. RingCentral Office users with a Digital Line, using IP Desk Phones or Softphones, can dial 911 directly from their IP Desk Phones or Softphone. VIRTUAL EXTENSIONS AND MOBILE USERS WITHOUT A DIGITAL LINE CANNOT COMPLETE 911 CALLS.
Emergency calling services work differently than you may have experienced using traditional wireline or wireless telephones. Your access may differ depending on your location or the device you are using.
1. Registering Your Location
You must register the address of the physical location where you will use each Digital Line with RingCentral immediately upon activation of your End Point. This is your Registered Address. You or your Account Administrator must accurately register each individual line through your Digital Line Settings or the Administrative Portal. You must use RingCentral voice services only at the Registered Address provided for the applicable Digital Line. If you move a registered device, you must immediately update the Registered Address with the new physical location of the device with RingCentral through the Administrative Portal or in your account settings. If you do not update the Registered Address, any 911 calls made from the device may be sent to the wrong emergency response center and will not transmit your current location information to emergency responders, delaying emergency assistance to you. It may take up to several hours for the address update to take effect. Customers with more than one Digital Line are solely responsible for ensuring that an accurate and up-‐to-‐date Registered Address is maintained for each Digital Line, and that their End Users are aware of how the Registered Address can be changed.
2. Service limitations
RingCentral 911 service will not function (i) in the event of an Internet or power outage; (ii) if your broadband, ISP, or RingCentral Service is terminated; and (iii), with respect to only the RingCentral Mobile Application, if you do not have mobile service, as the RingCentral Mobile Application cannot send emergency calls over Wi-‐Fi access. It is possible that network congestion may delay or prevent completion of any 911 call. You will not be able to complete a 911 call if you move to a physical location outside the country in which your Digital Line is provided, or if you are dialing from a RingCentral number that is not a Canadian or United States number.
Users uncomfortable with any of these limitations should use an alternate means of reaching 911.
3. How it Works
105
Attachment_RingCentral Online Terms_20190312 Page 74 When you dial 911 using voice services from RingCentral, the RingCentral phone number and the Registered Address you have provided is sent to the local emergency center serving your location. In some areas, emergency operators have access to this information; however, in areas where only basic 911 service is available, the emergency operator answering the call may not be able to see your RingCentral telephone number or your Registered Address. You should always be prepared to provide the emergency operator with your RingCentral telephone number and Registered Address in case the call is dropped or disconnected. If you are unable to speak, the emergency operator may not be able to send help to your location and/or call you back should the call be disconnected. RingCentral does not control whether or not the emergency operator receives your telephone number and Registered Address.
In some cases, 911 calls dialed from your RingCentral Office device cannot be directed to the local emergency response center, and are instead directed to a National Emergency Call Center (the “NECC”).
That might happen if there is a problem validating a Registered Address, if the Registered Address is an international location, or if the Registered Address is in an area that is not covered by the landline 911 network. 911 calls that are directed to the NECC may not include your RingCentral telephone number or your registered address. Trained operators at the NECC will request your name, location, and telephone number and attempt to reach emergency responders in your local area. Until you give the operator your phone number, and location, he/she may not be able to call you back or dispatch help to your location if the call is dropped or disconnected.
4. Mobile Applications
Calls to 911 placed through the RingCentral Mobile Application on a smartphone are automatically routed to the native dialer on the smartphone, and the call will be handled by your wireless service provider if wireless service is available. If your wireless service is unavailable, the 911 call cannot be placed. The RingCentral Mobile Application cannot place emergency calls over Wi-‐Fi access. Emergency dialing is not available through the RingCentral Mobile Application on tablets or other mobile devices without a native phone dialer and a wireless service plan.
In some areas, emergency operators are able to receive text messages sent to 911. Texts to 911 by RingCentral users relying on the RingCentral Mobile Application are automatically directed to the native dialer on the mobile phone, allowing you to send the text through your wireless service provider, if available. If wireless service is unavailable, the text cannot be sent. Text-‐to-‐911 is not available on tablets or other mobile devices without a native phone dialer and a wireless service subscription.
5. Notification of Employees, Guests, or Other Users Customers must notify any employees, contractors, guests, or persons who may place calls using the Services or may be present at the physical location where the Services may be used, of the limitations of RingCentral 911 Service from your RingCentral IP phone, other equipment, or the RingCentral Softphone. Customer must affix a RingCentral-‐provided sticker warning that 911 services may be limited or unavailable in a readily visible place on each piece of equipment that might be used to access or use the Services, as required by 47 C.F.R. § 9.5.
6. Disclaimer of Liability for Emergency Call Response Your use, and use by your employees, guests and other third parties, of RingCentral’s 911 Services are subject to the limitations described herein. The availability of certain features, such as transmission of a Registered Address or your RingCentral telephone number, depends on whether local emergency response centers support those features, and other factors outside of RingCentral’s control. RingCentral 106
Attachment_RingCentral Online Terms_20190312 Page 75 relies on qualified third parties to assist us in routing 911 calls and text messages to local emergency response centers and to the NECC. RingCentral does not have control over local emergency response centers, the NECC, emergency responders, or other third parties. RingCentral disclaims all responsibility for the conduct of local emergency response centers, the NECC, third parties engaged by Customer to facilitate address updates, and all other third parties involved in the provision of emergency response services. To the extent permitted by applicable Law, you hereby release, discharge, and hold harmless RingCentral from and against any and all liability relating to or arising from any acts or omissions of such third parties or other third parties involved in the handling of or response to any emergency or 911 call.
Customer indemnifies and holds harmless RingCentral, and any third-‐party provider(s) from any and all third-‐party claims, losses, damages, fines, or penalties arising out of: (i) Customer or its End User’s provision to RingCentral of incorrect information, including physical addresses, or failure to update a Registered Address; (ii) Customer’s failure to properly notify any person who may place calls using the Services of the 911 limitations; or (iii) the absence, failure, or outage of emergency service dialing using the Services for any reason; and (iv) the inability of any End User to be able to dial 911 or access emergency service personnel for any reason.

RINGCENTRAL NUMBERING POLICY
SOURCE: MSA_ 5.B.iii https://www.ringcentral.com/legal/policies/numbering-‐policy.html Last Updated: March 15, 2018
Use of voice and/or facsimile services provided by RingCentral is subject to this Numbering Policy. This Numbering Policy incorporated into and made a part of the Agreement.
Customer may obtain new numbers from RingCentral for use with the Services, or may port existing numbers, subject to the terms below.
I. Number Availability
RingCentral makes available phone numbers for use with voice and facsimile services, which Customer may select for assignment to the Customer’s Account. RingCentral’s listing of a number as available may be erroneous and does not constitute a representation or guarantee that such number is actually available for such assignment. In the event a chosen number is not actually available, RingCentral may remove such number from an Account.
II. Number Porting
A. Number Port-‐In Request Procedures.
Customer must keep the its existing service active in order to port a phone number to RingCentral.
In order to request the porting of a telephone or facsimile number into an Account, the Account Administrator for the Account into which you wish the telephone or facsimile number to be ported must log in to the Admin Portal for such Account and complete all steps and provide all information requested as part of the number port-‐in request process (which may include without limitation providing an executed Letter of Agency) or as otherwise requested by RingCentral.
In order to port more than 100 phone numbers from the same third party service provider account into the RingCentral Account, you must contact RingCentral’s Project Porting Department at [email protected] and comply with their instructions.
B. The Number Porting Process.
In order to request the porting out to another services provider of a telephone or facsimile number currently assigned to an Account, you must follow the instructions specified by that services provider and must provide all information and cooperation requested by the relevant other services providers, RingCentral, or any other relevant third party. The porting of phone numbers into or out of an Account requires Customer’s provision of specific and detailed information to RingCentral and/or other service providers, and procedures imposed by other service providers or RingCentral in order to comply with law and industry standards. Therefore, the completion of any number port request may depend on factors outside of RingCentral’s control, including delays caused by Customer and/or other service providers.
108
Attachment_RingCentral Online Terms_20190312 Page 77 C. Unauthorized Port Outs
RingCentral is required by law to comply with any valid porting request. Phone numbers may be ported out from an Account due to acts or omissions of third parties, and it may be difficult or impossible for RingCentral to: (i) prevent such port-‐outs: (ii) retrieve numbers ported out of an Account; or (iii) port such numbers back into an Account. RingCentral has no responsibility or liability due to such port-‐outs.
D. Accurate Porting Information
Customer represents and warrants that all information provided in connection with any request to port in or port out numbers to or from the RingCentral Services (including without limitation any information or representations in any Letter of Agency) by Customer or any party acting on its behalf or direction will be true, accurate, and up-‐to-‐date.
E. Customer Compliance with Porting Laws
The porting of numbers is subject to telecommunications and other Laws and may be subject to third-‐ party terms and conditions. Customer, and/or any party acting on Customer’s behalf, shall not: (i) violate any applicable Law or engage in any fraudulent or deceptive conduct in its porting-‐related requests or activities; (ii) engage in or facilitate “slamming” or the porting out of any telephone or facsimile number or change or attempt to change any party’s telephony service provider without first obtaining the proper, requisite consents and authorizations; or (iii) violate contractual or other obligations to service providers or other
third parties.
F. Release of Numbers
In the event of Account termination or cancellation, all telephone numbers associated with the Account which have not previously been ported to another provider may be released. The cancellation of individual Digital Lines may result in the release of the associated numbers if those numbers have not previously been ported to another provider. Customer is solely responsible for working with its new third-‐party provider to port out any numbers prior to termination or cancellation of Customer’s Account or Services, or any individual line.
III. Number Publication by Customer
All new number assignments are provisional until verified by RingCentral and confirmed by Customer.
Customer shall not publicize, list, or communicate any number that assigned to the Account, or purchase or invest in any materials or media reflecting any such number unless and until Customer has confirmed that such number(s) is(are) active and functioning as desired. Acceptable methods of confirmation include test calling such number(s) from a non-‐RingCentral service plan and verifying that the fees and charges that will be incurred in connection with use of such number(s) are acceptable to Customer.
