Council President Buckholtz called the meeting to <br />order. <br />ROLL CALL: Present: Mr. Buckholtz, Mrs. Cinco, Mr. Marquardt, Mrs. Mills, <br />Dr. Parker, Mr. Marrie, and Mr. Saponaro <br />Absent: None <br />Also Present: Mayor Rinker, Mr. Wynne, Mr. Diemert, <br />Mr. Cappello, Acting Chief Edelman, Mr. Marrelli, <br />Mr. Metzung, Mr. Neyman, Mr. Thomas, Mr. Esborn, <br />Mr. Dinardo, Mrs. Kalina and Mrs. Betsa <br />The Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag was given. <br />Presentation bv Lieutenant Mike Girbino: Photoelectric Smoke Alanns <br />Lieutenant Girbino showed a couple of videos providing information on photoelectric smoke <br />alarms. <br />Council President Buckholtz stated, that was certainly a compelling demonstration. What can we <br />do here in the Village to promote this? <br />Lieutenant Girbino replied, we are off to a good start. We just recently passed legislation <br />requiring photoelectric smoke detectors in all new eonstruction. What we can do on the Fire <br />Department level is get the word out to the public which is what. we are trying to do here tonight <br />to let them know that this is something that they should consider in the homes that they are in <br />now. Most of us live in homes that are protected with single-station battery-operated smoke <br />alarms. 95% of those alarms out there are ionization. It's very very different than the type of <br />technology for photoelectric. An ionization detector is more of a gas detector. A photoelectric <br />device uses a beam of light and a receiving device inside the chamber. Wlien the smoke enters <br />the chamber, the light scatters and triggers an alaxm. It actually is a smoke sensor. Photoelectric <br />detectors are consistent and reliable. <br />Mr. Saponaro asked, how will we educate the residents. or the community on what is the proper <br />way to go or what proper type to purchase? When you go to the store, you get very confused <br />about the packaging. You think you are buying the right one and you are not. What are we going <br />to do? How are we going to educate the community?
