Peletier board approves water-tower antenna to strengthen EMS communications
Summary
The board approved installation of a communications antenna on a town water tower to improve EMS communications and support the town's ISO rating; planning staff reviewed the proposal and the board approved the work by voice vote.
The Town of Peletier Board of Commissioners voted to approve work to install a communications antenna on a town water tower intended to strengthen EMS radio coverage.
The chair explained the project (DEL2026EZA15) is intended to help EMS communications and to support the town’s public-safety rating; planning had previously reviewed the proposal. A staff member confirmed planning’s review and said the project passed the planning-board step. The board moved and seconded approval; the motion passed by voice vote with no recorded opposition.
Why it matters: Improved radio coverage is intended to aid EMS responses and contributed to the town’s recent discussion of ISO review and public-safety preparedness. Chief Webb earlier reported increased call volume and an improved ISO rating that the town is maintaining through training and equipment investment.
Outcome and next steps: Board approved the work; staff will proceed with permitting and coordinate construction oversight as needed.
