Loami emergency siren telephone activation fails; village to research grant options
Summary
Trustee Jay Branson reported the telephone-activated component of the village warning siren is not functioning; a vendor submitted a repair bid but the 20+-year-old unit may not be fully repairable, and staff will explore grant funding for replacement.
Trustee Jay Branson told the board the telephone activation component of the Loami warning siren is currently not functioning. A vendor has submitted a bid to diagnose and repair the unit, but because the siren is more than 20 years old there is no guarantee a repair will fully resolve the issue.
Mayor Steven Lambert noted the siren still activates manually. Chief Stan Workman asked Treasurer Brad Colantino to research grant opportunities to fund repair or replacement of the warning siren. No formal action or funding decision was taken at the meeting; the board recorded the operational limitation and asked staff to pursue options.
The siren’s status will remain under review and any grant applications or replacement proposals will return to the board for consideration.
