Speaker 1 described the incident and presented a quote for three panic buttons with an installation cost of $1,607 and an annual maintenance fee of about $4.92 per unit. Councilmembers discussed mobile and fixed options, noting other cities use similar systems.
Speaker 12 moved to approve the purchase and Speaker 9 seconded. The motion passed on a roll-call vote. Council directed staff to procure at least one portable unit for use in meetings and to coordinate installation with the sheriff's office.
