Commissioners ask staff to pursue hazard‑mitigation grant options and security review for City Hall
Summary
A commissioner asked staff to explore hardening City Hall and finance offices; staff said a hazard‑mitigation (hurricane shutter) grant application remains active and that Public Safety completed a security review for interior hardening of finance and IT areas.
A commissioner asked staff to explore hardening City Hall — including shutters and interior hardening of the finance area and IT facilities — to reduce vulnerability to break‑ins and hurricane impacts.
Director Irwin told commissioners a hazard‑mitigation grant for hurricane shutters is still active and is going through state and FEMA review. The City Manager and Public Safety staff said a security review had been completed for interior hardening of the finance area and information-technology access; staff will follow up on next steps and grant status.
Commissioners asked whether second‑floor access should be included; staff said they would evaluate securing elevator access and second‑floor points of entry as part of the follow-up work. No appropriation or contract award was approved at the workshop.
