At the community board meeting on May 5 council committed to getting the free WiFi back on 24/7 as soon as possible.
However, this was not going to be before the installation of security cameras outside the Raetihi office and library, Ruapehu mayor Don Cameron said.
He said council also undertook to accelerate plans for free town wide WiFi within Raetihi.
"Ultimately the solution to the issues that led to this situation had to come from within the community itself.
"These are community issues and it will require a concerted whole of community response to resolve them," he said.
"The council and the community board will do all we can to work with the police, local iwi and other community organisations to resolve the current situation however without the full backing of Raetihi residents we will not get very far."
He was hoping for a big turnout at the meeting.
