Kensett to fix town siren, seek Larson land survey and install electronic speed signs
Summary
The council directed staff to repair the town siren, instructed the clerk to solicit Larson land survey estimates, and approved installing existing electronic speed signs on a county road after discussing a state offer to install signs on Highway 65 if the city accepts maintenance responsibility.
At its Feb. 9 meeting the Kensett City Council recorded three public-works items: repair of the town siren, a planned land survey of the Larson property, and approval to deploy electronic speed signs.
A maintenance staff member reported that the town siren remains out of service and said they had contacted Kruger Electric and planned to stop and get the siren working again. The council recorded this as an active maintenance task; the minutes do not list an estimated completion date or cost.
On the Larson property, the city clerk said she will reach out to several surveyors to obtain estimates and will report those estimates back to the council. The minutes do not specify surveyor names or a target budget.
Council members discussed electronic speed signs and the minutes note that the state offered to install signs on Highway 65 if the city accepts ownership and maintenance responsibility for them. Kensett already has electronic speed signs available; the minutes say the council agreed to install those signs on a county road. The motion to proceed on the speed-sign plan was approved (mover: K. Woltzen; second: L. Douglas) and recorded as carried unanimously.
The minutes do not record specific timelines for sign installation, nor do they record any budget appropriation tied to the survey or siren repair. The clerk is the listed point of contact for follow-up items.
