Summary
After a public introduction, the council nominated and approved Steve Southwell as its representative to the Denco Area 911 Board of Managers; Southwell noted governance and funding concerns for 9‑1‑1 services funded largely by a monthly wireless charge.
Steve Southwell (S12) introduced himself to the council and identified his residence (Lewisville) and experience as an IT consultant; he said he was one of the town's nominees for the Denco Area 911 Board of Managers and emphasized the need for stable governance and funding for emergency communications.
