Addition of cameras is ongoing. We currently have 18 cameras installed and have 6 more in-house to be installed. Over the next few years we are looking to have a total of 31 cameras in flood prone areas. Continue the study and design of major improvement projects (Rose Lane, Smoky Hollow, etc.). Continue with drainage assistance projects/GSI installs. Approximately 4 residential properties benefited from drainage assistance projects/GSI installs over the last year. As the square mileage of the city continues to grow, the ability for a single rescue unit and two squads to respond in a timely manner is becoming challenging. A second dedicated rescue unit will be needed in the near future to address reasonable response times to all areas of the city. We continue to successfully train all members of the technical rescue team in various aspects of rescue. Training our team is a continuous goal due to attrition of team members through separation and promotion. AAR's are an on-going and adaptive concern. Information derived from AAR's should be used to drive change in emergency response.
