Police update on outdoor warning siren does not advance at committee
Summary
The Chief of Police briefed the committee on the process and cost to install an outdoor warning siren, but no motion was made and the item failed to move forward.
The Chief of Police provided the Joint Committee of the Whole with an update on the process and estimated cost of installing an outdoor warning siren for the city.
Committee members discussed the feasibility and cost but did not make a motion to advance the item; as a result, the matter did not move forward from committee.
Why it matters: an outdoor warning siren would affect emergency-notification capability and requires capital funding, site selection and coordination with departments. The committee’s decision not to advance means staff will need further direction or a formal motion before the project proceeds to the council.
Next steps: no follow-up motion was recorded; the item will require a sponsoring motion or additional staff information to return to a future committee or council agenda.
