Meeker trustees approve payment arrangement to secure Omni‑Warn siren installation
Summary
The Meeker Board approved covering the full cost of an Omni‑Warn siren installation up front and seeking reimbursement under an approved 80/20 grant; Board noted company requires payment before work begins.
Administrator Jeff Wilbourn told trustees the installation company requires full payment before starting work and that the Town had already accepted the 80/20 grant terms. He said the "Town will issue payment for the full project cost and will be reimbursed for the grant‑funded portion upon completion." Trustees voted to approve the payment; the motion carried with Yea votes from Thompson, Massey, Head and Weber.
No additional project budget numbers were provided during the meeting; staff said reimbursement would be sought after installation is complete and that the town had previously accepted the grant terms. The board recorded the formal motion and vote but did not discuss alternative procurement or contractor escrow arrangements at the meeting.
