Summary

Police Chief Christmann notified the council of a planned Duke Energy power outage and said the department's new notification app is active, recommending the city discontinue use of Nixle.

Police Chief Christmann told the Council that "the power will be shut off by Duke Energy tonight" as part of utility work and said that is one reason the Police Department should have a backup generator on site. Chief Christmann also reported the department’s new police app is active and "recommends the City stop using Nixle," describing the new app as more user friendly and suitable for resident notifications.

The minutes do not record a formal request for immediate funding for a generator, nor do they record a motion to adopt the new app citywide. The items were reported under Public Safety as informational updates for Council consideration.
