ESDA/Disposal of Outdoor Warning Sirens
The City of Fairview Heights currently has 12 outdoor warning sirens. Since they have updated the technology, the city is down to 4 sirens. Committee members asked if other cities could use them. Alderman Baeske noted that this can all be done administratively. The only time they would need to come to committee is if they would sell them. Staff will look into either selling them to another community or disposing them. No action needed at this time.
