Chief outlines traffic-sign rollout and tech upgrades; council discusses street sweeper and garbage-truck options
Summary
The chief reported on internet-provider talks and the arrival of a traffic sign; the council discussed speed-sign locations, a street-sweeper demo and options for replacing a problematic garbage truck, including potential monetization of equipment.
The police chief briefed the council on technology and safety improvements, including a recently delivered traffic sign and conversations with a potential internet provider to support cloud-based systems. "We're, we had a meeting today with a potential Internet provider. Of course, everything we do today is Internet based and cloud based," the chief said, and added that one traffic sign arrived and more will be deployed at problem locations after public-safety committee review.
Public works members discussed a street-sweeper demonstration and price comparisons (one model quoted at about $90,000 versus a $160,000 unit) and said they will host another vendor demo. Council also raised replacing an aging Kenworth garbage truck, weighing trade-in and driver costs; one council member suggested monetizing a sweeper by renting it regionally to offset costs. The council agreed to continue demos and pricing comparisons and to identify drivers and service plans before making a purchase decision.
