February PSAC Reminder and Agenda
Following is this month's PSAC agenda. Please note our Bureau of Emergency Communication (BOEC) is coming back out to meet and talk with the group about our 911 dispatch center and services. BOEC came to our PSAC last year and we had a great meeting that has helped us all make our public safety system more efficient. Our guest speakers will be discussing a host of topics raised last year and goals and future plans for BOEC. It is great to have this City Bureau back so soon to report back to the community and continue to solicite your feedback and input, so please come and brings some of your neighbors!
