AD0004 – Upgrade Outdoor Warning Sirens & Control Unit <br />Account Number: 0156054-510Budget <br />Funding:BudgetExpendituresEncumbrancesRemaining <br />Fiscal Year 19-20$ 189,000$ 175,954$ - <br />Fiscal Year 20-21 - - - <br />Total$ 189,000$ 175,954$ -$ 13,046 <br />P ROJECT D ESCRIPTION <br />The City has a total of thirteen (13) outdoor warning sirens. In 2000, the City began replacing one <br />original siren a year over an 11-year period. During this time, the LEPC purchased two (2) additional <br />sirens for the City, making a total of thirteen (13). The last siren upgrade was completed in 2012. <br />Some of our current sirens are nearly 20 years old. The equipment is outdated and maintenance <br />intensive. Staff has been working to maintain the sirens each year, but believes it is time for an <br />upgrade of the system. One siren was substantially upgraded in 2018, so staff is proposing <br />replacement or significant repairs of the remaining twelve (12) sirens in the next fiscal year. Also, <br />staff is proposing that the City purchase a control unit that will allow staff the opportunity to monitor <br />the status of the sirens from Dispatch 24/7. This will allow the City to quickly identify when there is <br />an issue with one of the sirens, so that it can be addressed in a more timely and effective manner. <br />The sirens were discussed as part of OEM’s presentation at the Council budget retreat. <br /> <br />F IRST Q UARTER FY20-21 <br />This project is complete. <br />5 <br /> <br />
