Village to review $10,000 computer replacement and tests tornado siren batteries
Summary
Officials said village computers are incompatible with Windows 11 and staff will seek quotes for a roughly $10,000 replacement package; trustees also replaced four marine batteries for the tornado siren at $223.10 each and will monitor performance.
President Counley told trustees that the village’s office and police department computers are not compatible with Windows 11 and a full replacement package could cost around $10,000. He asked the village’s tech vendor to provide a quote; Deputy Clerk Prehn said promotional programs may reduce that cost but the item will be added to the next meeting’s agenda for formal consideration.
Separately, Counley said the village replaced four marine batteries for the tornado siren after personnel determined the system needed new batteries; he reported buying four batteries at $223.10 apiece and that Trustee Thompson and the new maintenance worker helped install them. Counley said the village will know whether the siren repair was successful after the following Tuesday’s test.
