Briefing
Committee reviews Secure Structure Ordinance and advances Operation Safety training rollout
The City Hall Campus Emergency Preparedness Committee (virtual) approved prior minutes; heard a presentation from City Records Manager Brad Houston on the 25-year-old Secure Structure Ordinance and requested targeted guidance, legal review, and building-specific security assessments; Emergency Management Director Ryan Zollicoffer reported progress on the Operation Safety checklist and rollout of mandatory InfoSec LMS training modules (with a 30-day completion requirement tied to computer access), confirmed panic-button testing and planned mock exercises, and noted scheduled trainings (Active Shooter in May, Suspicious Package in July, Bomb Threat protocol in November). Members requested a concise summary for the Common Council, asked staff to research a dedicated security manager/campus-wide security emergency manager as a possible budget request, and set the next meeting for March 5, 2026.
