Council/Staff Discussion
Fire Chief Brent Parker addressed Council stating that the City of Wylie's current 911 system has reached
end of life resulting in several outages over recent months. Currently, AT&T maintains our equipment.
They have provided exceptional service on a daily basis and during outages. AT&T Staff members went
above and beyond to provide Wylie PSC the necessary assistance in the aftermath of the 2016 hail storm
last year.
The system will have six answering stations, two of which will be portable and able to move to a backup
position ,in case of an emergency. This system will feature 911 mapping to allow accurate caller
locations.
Citizen Comments
Resident Steve Wright addressed Council stating that his concern was regarding the capability for the
system to take a text. This would be very important in situations where the person does not want anyone
to know they are calling for help. Wright explained that in some cases when tempers are high, it is best to
alert police without the attention of others.
Mayor Hogue added that texting for hearing impaired would be a great benefit.
Fire Chief Parker replied once the system is up and running, those additional services will be considered.
