Council approves switch of Old City Hall security line from copper to cellular
Summary
Denham Springs authorized replacing the AT&T copper phone line for the Old City Hall security system with a cellular option, carrying a one-time $95 installation charge and $16 monthly increase to the monitoring bill.
The Denham Springs City Council on May 13 approved changing the Old City Hall security monitoring connection from an AT&T copper phone line to a cellular option.
Staff said the change will require a one-time installation charge of $95 and add $16 per month to the current monitoring bill with Certified Alarm. The council approved the change by recorded vote; councilmembers confirmed the motion following staff presentation.
Why it matters: Many security systems rely on dedicated copper lines that providers are retiring; converting to cellular preserves monitored alarm communications and affects ongoing operations budgets.
Details: The agenda item listed the one-time installation fee and the monthly increase to monitoring. The council approved the item without additional conditions. Staff will arrange the installation with the alarm vendor.
Next steps: Staff to schedule installation and update monitoring invoicing; the annual budget will reflect the increased monitoring cost going forward.
