Monthly Report: EM Director Dave Beal asked the public safety committee who oversaw the phone system for the city.

He also stated that there is to be an analog phone in the public safety building in case something like this would happen. Chairman Buske was informed that there is no analog phone. Dave stated that there are three boxes that service the power for the telephone system. One is at the utility building which has a generator, the second is at the city garage and they have a 4 hour battery backup and the third that houses the public safety building and treatment plant is on the recreation trail and has no battery backup system at all. Dave asked if battery backups are used who is responsible for maintaining them and purchasing new ones when the old ones are no longer good, specifically what department will be responsible. Committee wishes for this to be placed on finance committee agenda for further follow up with InterQuest to see what can be done to resolve these problems.
