Residents who attended the Homeowners Association meeting on February 7, 2002, learned the Town of Indialantic has recently received grant money to purchase a Dialogic Emergency Notification System. This is a P-C based system that places outbound calls for both emergency and community call out needs like severe weather warnings, chemical spills and crime prevention. The Dialogic system has been installed in the Police dispatch center and is ready to be tested. In the near future, the Police Department will begin testing the system by making phone calls and leaving a message. The message starts out saying, “Hello, this is the Communicator Emergency Notification System. This is only a test." Anyone who has more than one phone line at home might receive additional unnecessary phone calls from the Emergency Notification system. E-mail or contact the Police Department and provide the phone number and address that should be retained in the notification directory and to indicate the phone numbers to be eliminated. Anyone having questions about the Dialogic Emergency Notification, please feel free to call Sergeant Casey or myself at 723-7788. The Department’s e-mail address is police@indialantic.com. Buckle Up Florida wants to remind you that wearing a safety belt is the single most effective thing you can do to protect yourself and your children in a traffic crash. During May 25-June 2, Florida’s law enforcement will be on the lookout for adults and children who are not buckled up. Don’t put yourself or your family at needless risk of death, injury or getting a ticket. Buckle Up Florida, it’s the law. A reminder to all town residents, your Police Department will be representing the Town of Indialantic in the annual Law Enforcement Memorial Day on May 11, 2002 inside the Melbourne Square Mall. Indialantic police officers will be speaking to people about home surveys, personal security and other crime prevention tips. Come visit our booth and help us honor the police officers who died in the line of duty to make sure we live in safe neighborhoods. See you there. Terry Tenpenny

Douglas Park Ranked High A FRDAP grant application for $41,043 for improvements to Douglas Park was ranked twelfth in its category for funding. This ranking assures funding if the budget request submitted by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection is approved by the legislature. Improvements entail providing a gazebo, handicap parking spaces, a connecting walkway and sea wall repair. An eight foot wide bike path has recently been constructed in the park under a separate grant funded project If the additional state funds are approved, work may start as early as December of this year.
