Director Corum asked about the radio outage. SM Williams advised that 45 minutes was the total down time, but no traffic was reported to have been missed by dispatch or by units. Director Corum asked about the Sarcoxie Tower Temperature Alarm going off on Saturday. SM Williams advised that the temp was set at 65F, which was well within safe operation temperature zone and as such the thermostat was turned down as it could operate in low temperatures better than hot temperatures. A MCA tech was on scene on February 17th to verify the alarm. The changing of the temperature on the thermostat should help stop systems from getting more alarms for temperatures that are safe for equipment to run.

Director Norton asked about JASCO’s weather plan with the upcoming weather. DD McClintock advised that JASCO held a meeting with Staff this morning and has a plan in place for staff and support staff to help maintain comfortable working environment during the storm. Will have a meeting with SEMA at 1600 for the weather. After that there will be a meeting with Staff and Responders who want to attend for putting a plan in place for weather. This will be around 1715. Director Corum requested link for the meeting.
