The main difference of the cost between the Federal ($87,235.80) and the Whelen Vortex ($85,972.00) systems was galvanized versus concrete polls. The second element is an A.M. Radio Transmitter Station to broadcast public information. This requires FCC licensing. The third element is an Auxiliary Diesel Power System to power the entire D.P.S. Building for A.C., computers, electricity, and heat. Discussion ensued regarding how the system promotes economic growth and resident safety, the involvement of immediate area cities to reduce costs, and the separation of the three elements to be purchased and installed at a future date. Chief Miller relayed the recommendation from the Public Safety Committee that the first priority is the siren system A. Public Relations Committee — Patti Stoltz Chairman Stoltz presented a large wish list to increase the advertisement of Trophy Club both residentially and commercially.

North Texas Commission — Scott Smith, Chairman of the Finance Committee Chairman Smith recommended that the Corporation spend the $1,200 membership fee on one of the other projects presented because they directly benefit Trophy Club.
