Colona approves purchase and maintenance agreements for three outdoor storm warning sirens
Summary
Council authorized purchase of three Federal Signal storm warning sirens using DCEO grant funds, approved an intergovernmental agreement with Florida Fire Protection District for ownership and maintenance responsibilities, and approved a $1,280 annual maintenance contract with Braniff Communications.
Council approved a set of actions to enhance the city’s storm-warning capacity: authorization to purchase three outdoor sirens from Federal Signal Corporation using previously awarded DCEO grant funding, an intergovernmental agreement with Florida Fire Protection District allocating ownership, installation, maintenance and cost-sharing responsibilities, and a maintenance-services agreement with Braniff Communications for annual inspection and preventative maintenance at a total annual cost of $1,280.
Council discussion noted the purchases would be funded with grant money and that the intergovernmental agreement clarifies long-term responsibilities. The purchase and both agreements passed by roll call votes (the purchase motion recorded six ayes, one nay, one absent; the IGA and maintenance agreement recorded seven ayes, one absent for the IGA and similar support for the maintenance contract). The mayor and city clerk were authorized to execute the documents.
