Resident questions siren activation after storm as county reports cleanup and facility intrusion
Summary
During public comment, a resident asked why outdoor warning sirens did not activate after a recent storm; County Engineer Jacob Ferro and Sheriff Greg Schultz reported storm cleanup work, road and bridge project updates, and storm-related water intrusion in a county building.
A resident asked the Mills County Board of Supervisors on June 9 why outdoor warning sirens were not activated during a recent Friday night storm, prompting updates from county staff on cleanup and infrastructure work.
Bonnie Millsap told the Board she was concerned the outdoor warning sirens were not activated during the storm and thanked volunteers who assisted with cleanup. She also asked that presenters speak louder so the public could hear remarks during meetings.
Mills County Engineer Jacob Ferro provided an update on storm cleanup and ongoing road maintenance, and outlined planned roadway and bridge improvements across the county, citing work on 221st Street, Deacon Road, H12, L63 and the upcoming 215th Street bridge project.
Sheriff Greg Schultz reported "significant storm-related water intrusion in the building" and informed the Board that jailer Aloianita “Kit” Childers retired effective June 2, 2026. The Board did not take actions on emergency-notification protocols during the meeting; the siren question remained on the public-comment record.
The Board heard these reports as part of a regular business meeting and adjourned at 9:00 a.m.
