County updating its panic buttons
Communication system to be replaced in 4 buildings
DEVAN FILCHAK | The Journal Gazette
Some Allen County government buildings will soon be equipped with updated technology.
Vance Hernandez, the county s director of facility maintenance, brought a request to the county commissioners Friday to update panic buttons throughout four of the county s downtown facilities – the Courthouse, the Courthouse Annex, the Bud Meeks Center and a small part of the Rousseau Centre.
The request included 34 hard panic buttons through those locations, as well as 67 “soft buttons.” Staffers who have “soft buttons” will have an icon on their computer desktop that enables them to activate the panic system.
Some Allen County restaurants may be eligible to get some billing assistance from the Allen County Sanitary Engineer.
Thursday, commissioners adopted a temporary Sanitary Sewer Billing Reduction to restaurants that are county sewer customers that had to shut down for a period due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Their billing is basically based on seating capacity and since they were closed with no customers officials say it only made sense to offer the reduction.
County Commissioner Cory Noonan explains, âHow do we work together as a team. And this is another example of a very important component. One of our utilities working with the business community, the restaurants on what can be done to provide a little bit of that financial relief during that time where they werenât seeing the business coming in.â
