Nov. 10 City Council Meeting

The Sierra Vista City Council approved the acceptance of $350,000 from the Arizona Department of Emergency and Military Affairs border security funds to upgrade the City’s VHF radio system at its regular meeting today.

This system is used as a backup for the Sierra Vista Police Department and is the primary radio system used by Sierra Vista Fire & Medical Services. The upgrade will ensure SVPD can transition to a reliable VHF system if its primary system goes down. It will also provide improved reliability for SVPD to communication with SVF&MS personnel during critical incidents.

There are no matching dollars from the City required for these funds.

In other business, the City Council tabled an intergovernmental agreement with Patagonia Union High School to provide Commercial Driver’s License training and exam licensure.
