Back in February, KHOU-11 uncovered a city-commissioned report that told the sorry tale of Houston’s emergency radio system. Today KHOU reports that Council has authorized funds to address one problem cited in the study — damaged HPD radio towers that are in desperate need of repair:
11 News reported that the Houston Police Department’s radio towers had some potentially hazardous problems such as rust on the towers that a report predicted could threaten nearby homeowners.
Wednesday, the mayor and city council took action approving up to $235,000 for repairs to police radio towers.
It’s a start.
