Sperry board reviews $184,355 siren quote, asks staff to check sales‑tax fund
Summary
Trustees reviewed a Federal Signal quote of $184,355.60 for a new storm siren system but took no action; the board asked staff to confirm whether the .6% sales‑tax special account can be used for siren purchases.
Trustees reviewed a single vendor quote for a new town storm‑siren system from Federal Signal priced at $184,355.60 and took no action at the Aug. 8 meeting.
During discussion the board also asked staff to "check to see if the funds in the .6% sales tax special account can be used to purchase storm sirens." No motion to purchase the system was approved; the minutes record that the item received one formal quote but was not finalized.
The minutes do not identify a funding decision or explain whether alternative, lower‑cost options were considered. The board left the matter pending while asking the administrator to research the allowable uses of the .6% sales‑tax special account and report back.
