Council weighs office generator, Starlink for emergency connectivity
Summary
Councilors discussed installing a 30-amp generator hookup for the town office and community center and adding a Starlink unit to provide internet during emergencies; Cllr Deaderick argued power and connectivity are essential for continuity.
Cllr Deaderick said the town office "should have a generator to ensure we have power in our town office" and recommended wiring for a 30-amp generator to serve both the office and the community center. He also suggested installing a Starlink system so the town could maintain internet access as an emergency hotspot.
Council members discussed the proposal in the context of storm response and the ongoing cleanup. TM Gonzalez acknowledged the recommendation while the council asked staff to collect cost estimates and installation quotes before a formal vote or budget request.
