Remote monitoring of the fire panels for a period of one year was awarded to Get Security, the only company to submit a quote, which already monitors fire panels at the Norplex Pool and the water treatment plant. The total cost for the equipment, installation and 12 months of monitoring is $9,720 plus taxes. Coun. Les Ellsworth asked if city administration had looked at a longer contract than one year. “We only budgeted for one year of funding for it,” said city manager Anthony McInnis. Councillors also approved the purchase of 38 thermal imaging cameras for the fire department, the cost of which is being covered by a grant from the province.
