Commissioners agree to cover half of storm-siren upgrade cost at Fire Station No. 3
Summary
Commissioners moved and seconded a plan to pay half of a $51,004.80 invoice to upgrade the storm siren at Fire Station No. 3; details on the payee (Fire District No. 3 or BVPS) will be confirmed and payment handled administratively.
The commission reviewed a request to fund half of an upgrade to the storm siren at Fire Station No. 3 on Highway 47. Speaker 2 said Rodney Pulliam reported the station had repairs and is asking the county to pay half of the upgrade; Speaker 5 confirmed Jeremy said it is an upgrade that would allow the county to set off the siren with others.
Speaker 2 moved that the county pay half of the invoice, totaling $51,004.80, either to Fire District No. 3 or BVPS depending on confirmation of who paid the invoice; Speaker 3 seconded the motion. Commissioners discussed funding sources, noting an ARPA set-aside of $45,000 and possible use of communications or general funds depending on how maintenance responsibilities are allocated.
The motion was seconded and the group agreed to proceed to arrange payment and make logistics inquiries; staff said they would confirm whether the county should reimburse the district and follow up on which fund will cover the expense.
Next steps: county staff will confirm payee and funding source and arrange payment per the commission’s motion.
