EDCB board approves up to $100,000 for two outdoor warning sirens
Summary
At a public hearing the EDCB board approved up to $100,000 to buy and install two outdoor warning sirens for North Old Mansfield Road (water tower) and Wallen Park; the police chief said a requote came in about $400 lower than the earlier estimate.
The EDCB board voted to fund the purchase and installation of two outdoor warning sirens not to exceed $100,000, following a public hearing on proposals to use Type B sales tax proceeds. Speaker 6, who identified operational details for the sirens, said the chosen locations are North Old Mansfield Road at the water tower and Wallen Park and that a recent requote returned about $400 less than prior pricing.
The board opened the hearing on the proposed Type B sales‑tax uses and heard the chief outline the plan to add two sirens to the existing system. "This body voted to move forward with the purchase of 2 outdoor warning sirens," Speaker 6 said, and confirmed the previously authorized maximum of $100,000. The moderator (Speaker 1) then entertained a motion to approve the expenditure; a motion and second were made and the board passed the measure unanimously.
The action completes the formal funding step recorded at the meeting; the transcript does not list individual vote tallies or identify which board members moved or seconded the motion. No procurement contract details or installation schedule were specified at the vote. The board moved on to other agenda items after the approval.
