Fire department reports recurring radio problems; new vendor to study Pine Mill tower
Summary
Council heard a report that the county brought in a new vendor to assess longstanding fire radio-system problems at the Pine Mill tower; the vendor will perform a study to diagnose power/output issues and report back, according to staff.
Council members discussed recurring problems with the local fire radio system and the Pine Mill tower. Unidentified Speaker 2 said county commissioners arranged for a new company to take over work on the Pine Mill system and that the vendor "is gonna come in and do a study and see what they can do to get the system work." The speaker described the issue as a multi-year problem requiring technical analysis.
There was no formal council action recorded on this item in the transcript; the report indicates the town is awaiting the vendor's study and further recommendations. Council members and staff referenced a site assessment (a walk-behind behind a residence near Kelly's house, with participants named as Jared and Dave) and said initial inspections 'looked pretty good' but that staff would follow up once they reviewed study results.
The report did not include a timeline for the vendor's work, an estimated cost for repairs, or a named vendor beyond 'a different company' on Pine Mill. The transcript therefore documents the problem and planned study but leaves technical and budgetary details unspecified.
