# Board of Safety 11 10 26 Meeting Recording

The City of Elkhart Board of Public Safety met on November 10, 2026. The board approved revisions to fireground operating procedures, dive training at 801 North Nappanee Street, and replacement of the fire department’s aging Bauer Verticus breathing-air system, which no longer has available parts. No cost or vendor was stated for the replacement. The agenda was amended to include a request to solicit quotes for up to four Ford Bronco Sports for the Police Department, to replace older administrative vehicles; the transcript does not clearly capture the outcome of that request. A motion was also made to approve the claims and allowances docket for $327,859.80, but its disposition is unclear in the transcript.

The board continued to table Police Policy 428 on homeless persons, with staff indicating it may return at a future meeting. It approved a memorandum of understanding with unions concerning the 2027 payroll schedule, and accepted communications-center and building-department reports. The communications director also reported that previously approved AI-based training software was being prepared for implementation. No other procurement awards or spending amounts were clearly identified.
