Chief Jason Dyer and other staff answered council questions about compatibility of IT equipment and the size/placement of the new garage door at Fire Station 37, including wind rating and ease of apparatus movement. "The new doors ... [have a] higher wind rating as well as, newer, enable easier to maintain," Chief Dyer said of the replacement door. Council members emphasized coordination with the city's IT department to ensure compatibility.

All votes on the Item 15 purchases were unanimous (6–0). Several of the purchases were described as emergency purchases or use of state contracts to expedite procurement.
