Pratt meeting highlights: dark fiber, community center updates, hires and events
Summary
City manager and department heads reported that dark fiber was extended to several departments, a community event to preview the Point Pavilion is scheduled for Aug. 22–23, police and recreation staffing updates were given, and lead and copper testing results showed all tested homes below the maximum contaminant level.
City Manager Regina Goff and department heads used the Aug. 4 meeting to provide operational updates and upcoming events.
Goff said dark fiber was installed to the fire department, pool, parks and wastewater, bringing those departments onto the city network. "So 2 weeks ago, we moved out dark fiber to the fire department, the pool, the parks department, and wastewater," an IT staff member reported.
Goff and recreation staff previewed a community engagement event called "What's the Point," planned for Aug. 22–23 at the Bill Keller Family Sports Complex to display renderings and solicit public input on the proposed Point Pavilion. Recreation director Justin Crouch said fall program registration is open and the pool's final full week of operations is under way.
Public works said pool operations have gone well but crews are behind on some street patching due to water main work and heavy rain; staff plan targeted street patch efforts in the coming weeks.
On public health, staff reported lead and copper testing of 25 older homes all fell below the maximum contaminant level; staff credited proactive testing and monitoring.
Police Chief Oler said Officer Donovan Warman will start Aug. 11 and the department has posted an investigator position; a firearms safety class will be held at the Pratt Library Friday at 6 p.m. Fire Chief Hoffman reported routine calls and that spare air packs are expected this week.
Most updates were informational and did not require immediate commission action.
