Police, fire chiefs report operational updates; one-way timing adjusted, ISO visit planned

Piedmont City Council · March 17, 2026

Summary

Chief Johnson said the one-way in front of the armory will begin at 2:00 p.m. instead of 2:30 p.m.; Chief Kirkland said an ISO inspection is coming, fire-prevention inspections of businesses will begin soon, and hydrant work is scheduled for mid-April.

Police and fire leaders briefed the Piedmont City Council on operational updates at the March 17 meeting.

Police Chief Johnson said the one-way traffic period in front of the armory will shift to begin at 2:00 p.m. (ending at 3:30 p.m.), down from the previous 2:30–3:30 p.m. start time. He said the timing change will not resolve school-traffic problems but that staff are continuing to look for additional solutions.

Fire Chief Kirkland said the Insurance Services Office (ISO) will be coming soon, that the department will conduct fire-prevention inspections of all businesses, and that work on fire hydrants is scheduled to begin in mid-April. No estimated costs, contractor names, or exact inspection start dates were provided in the minutes.

The minutes record these operational items as informational reports; no motions or votes tied to these operational changes appear in the meeting record.
