Council approves $32,019 siren replacement for Oakwood; emergency director to retire this week
Summary
Emergency management director Jacob Naki reported siren failures in Oakwood and the need to order a replacement under a cooperative contract for $32,019 (including installation and removal); council approved the purchase and the mayor announced the chief's upcoming retirement.
Hannibal's emergency management director reported that an Oakwood tornado siren failed to sound twice and recommended ordering a replacement under a cooperative contract. The director said the vendor's price for the siren, including installation and removal of the old unit, is $32,019 and that lead time is roughly four to six weeks. Council approved the purchase by motion and voice vote.
During the meeting the mayor also announced that Chief Naki (the emergency director who spoke earlier) is retiring at the end of the week and that a reception would be held Friday at 1:00 p.m. Council and staff thanked him for his service.
Next steps: staff will order the replacement siren and schedule installation; funds will be paid from next fiscal-year funds when the unit arrives after July 1.
