Gov’t Tracker: Vail Town Council 2/20/07

How they voted

Yes: Foley, Gordon, Hitt, Logan, Moffet, Slifer

What they talked about: A proposal would require that buildings improve their signals for radios of firefighters, police officers or other public safety officials if there is poor reception.



Because some of the new buildings in Vail are made of thick concrete and steel that blocks radio signals, public safety officials are having trouble using their radios. The law would require that buildings of more than 25,000 square feet install “amplification” systems if radio signals are too weak.

What they did: Council gave preliminary approval to the proposed law.
