• • • Regular Meeting 2/6/80 8 9. DISCUSS PROPOSED P.P.G. EXPANSION - MRS. CELESTE PETERSON (CONTD.) The Attorney stated that if we were going to limit the operation, it should be done now. Commissioner Tomerlin asked that the Fire Chief and Fire Marshal get a daily operation sheet and see what kind of outside monitoring that P.P.G. has. It was determined that we should not be anti-industry, but the safety of our citizens was foremost. The Attorney suggested that the Commission might want to do an ordinance requiring P.P.G. to be tied into the City's police alarms system to eliminate human error. + + + 10.
