Council highlights storm‑shelter options, notes grant applied for generator replacement
Summary
City staff outlined designated storm shelters (Citizen Building and Municipal Building with electricity; Fire Hall and Courthouse with generators if outages persist) and said a grant application was submitted to replace the Citizen Building generator.
Council members and staff reviewed designated storm‑shelter locations and contingency plans during the March 3 meeting. Officials said that with electricity the Citizen Building and Municipal Building could accommodate community members and travelers; in the event of extended outages the Fire Hall and the courthouse — both equipped with generators — are designated as shelters. Staff reported a grant application has been submitted to fund replacement of the Citizen Building generator.
The council encouraged residents to contact the city office for more information about shelter locations and procedures. No formal action was recorded beyond the informational update and the reported grant application.
