DOES THE CITY THOUGHT OF HAVING A WI-FI FREE INTERNET ACCESS FOR THE WHOLE CITY AS SOME OTHERS ARE DOING?

Yes, I expect it. It has been brought up. I figure it will take about 3 more sites to do it. However, with everything else going on, I do not believe that it will be this year. I'll work to get an update of if and when.

Per recent Lauderhill Spotlight newsletter's article by Chief Curran: Kudos for expediting the permit approval process! Many of us are trying to become compliant and safe prior to the upcoming hurricane season. So, THANK YOU from Janice & James Singer on 44th Ct. Because of your efforts we WILL have our new roof in time!

Updated on the Wi-Fi, it isn't the highest priority right now, but we will be looking at it probably this winter. If it is viable, then we will work it into our capital plans.

Also, thank you Janice for your comments. I have already made sure he has received them.
