Mayor Trinks called the Public Hearing to order at 7:15 p.m. for Amendments to Chapter 12, Article II, Alarm Ordinance.

Mr. John Yuska, Monitor Controls addressed the Council. He commented that the ordinance is one of the easiest to read and understand. He has a concern with Section 15-12-26 providing a list of businesses and residents to the town. There are police officers that live and work in town who would not want their addresses made available. Also there are people under protective services who don’t want their address made available.

Mr. Joel Kent, FBN Security Company, spoke to the Council. He has positive feelings on the ordinance. He is concerned that Section 16 appears to state that for the company to train any new company, it needs to take over service. He is in favor of the price guide changes as it appears to be relevant and fair.

Mr. Jeff Barter, the Alarm Company, West Hartford, is in support of this ordinance. He expressed his appreciation that his company was able to meet with the Health & Safety Committee and will be able to come to the public hearing this evening.

Mr. Rick Wise, representing the Burglar & Fire Alarm Association located in Norwalk, is in favor of the ordinance, but he is concerned with proprietary information to be made available to the public.

Mr. Bill Lewis, Fire Chief, supports this ordinance. It makes it fair and equitable for everyone.

The Public Hearing adjourned at 7:24 p.m.

Respectfully submitted,

Kristen Countryman

Recording Secretary
