New Albany Board of Works: Alarm company denied permit
No representative appears to dispute complaints
Don’t expect a sales representative from Pinnicle Security to come knocking at your door anytime soon.
On Tuesday, the New Albany Board of Works denied the company a permit to go door-to-door to sell alarm systems.
New Albany Police Maj. Sherri Knight supplied the board with statistics showing that the company has had complaints filed against it.
There were no representatives from the company at the meeting to deny those claims.
“The fact that they are not here to answer questions concerns me,” said Board of Works President Matt Denison.
Denison said he was not against door-to-door salesmen and said the board is willing to give anyone a chance.
“But based on the findings here, this is a logical decision,” he said.
In other action Tuesday:
• A Silver Hills resident voiced concerns over a stop sign, at the corner of Highland and Knob avenues, because it is covered by overgrown bushes and weeds. He said motorists can’t see the sign until “they are right on top of it.”
He also said there is a large hole along Knob where a tree recently fell over following the ice storm. He asked Denison and the board to address both issues.
• The board awarded a bid to Knight Concrete to build sidewalks and curbs in small sections along Bank Street — near the Bank Street Brewhouse — and State Street — near the old Speakeasy and home of Wick’s Pizza. The cost for both jobs is $16,177.
• The board permitted a 4-by-8 foot flashing sign to be placed along the 1600 block of East Market Street to promote a new business. The sign will be put in a parking space along the street since it would have blocked pedestrian traffic if put on the sidewalk.
The board told Becky Yates, who requested the sign, that an extension cord could not be used, and said it would revisit the issue next week to see if any complaints are filed against it.
PINNICLE SECURITY
• The company is one of the largest security dealers in North America. It has been protecting families since 2001, and its corporate headquarters is located in Orem, Utah.
