Minutes of the Regular Meeting of Council <br />Monday, May 16, 2011 <br />Page 2 <br />Lieutenant Girbino replied, right now we started with our website. We put some valuable <br />information on the website. We also put an article in the latest Voice of the Village. We are <br />going to try to get the word out, whether it's mailings, additional information as it becomes <br />available on the internet. <br />Mr. Marrie asked if you can put a two-page spread in the Voice of the Village to get more <br />attention. <br />Lieutenant Girbino would be more than happy to do that. <br />Council President Buckholtz suggested this be brought up in committees, such as Citizen's <br />Advisory. <br />Mr. Marrie replied, Joe's point is good. You go to buy one and you get very confused about <br />which is the best, so maybe a recommendation. <br />Lieutenant Girbino stated, the videos give you a couple different stories. They recommend using <br />both. They talked about the combination with both types of technology. <br />Mr. Marrie asked, what do you have in your house? <br />Lieutenant Girbino replied, I actually have photoelectric. Mine are battery-operated, wireless <br />and interconnected. When one detector goes off, all of them do. That's what's required in new <br />construction. In existing homes we don't really legislate that, but it's recommended. If you can <br />buy the wireless product, that's what I would do. <br />Mayor Rinker asked, price range? <br />Lieutenant Girbino replied, the wireless product usually runs about $30-35. There's a couple <br />different manufacturers that make them. ProbaUly the.most common is BRK First Alert. <br />Mayor Rinker asked, for a 2500 square foot home, 2000 square foot home, difference between <br />ranch or colonial, typically how many units would you want an interconnection? <br />Lieutenant Girbino replied, it depends on the level of protection. The minimum recommended <br />standard is one smoke detector in each sleeping room, one outside the common sleeping area and <br />a minimum of one on every level of the home. <br />Mayor Rinker asked, so 4-5 would be the general range? <br />Lieutenant Girbino replied, yes. <br />Council President Buckholtz stated, that's good information to get out to people. Thank you. <br />Any other questions? There were none.
