The lowest bid for the specified siren for Cimarron is Fireap Associates. They were also the low bid for Tri-Lakes. Pott moved, seconded by Armstrong, to accept the low bid from Fireap Associates, Inc. for the specified civil defense siren for Cimarron; and table a decision for the Tri-Lakes siren pending more information. Motion carried 5-0. The Administrator said one of the sirens proposed did not provide complete coverage for Tri-Lakes; and the Council should determine if this proposal is adequate. He does not feel it is. Jim Peterson, of Electric Service Co., was present; and said their siren, as bid, would cover 90% of the Tri-Lakes area and requested this be noted when, the Council reconsiders the Tri-Lakes bids. His firm provided the sirens in Oak Park Heights. Molly Hedges said the Tri-Lakes Board has indicated to the Council they are not overly interested in a siren; and it is their position that they are already paying for a siren(at the Fire Station) and any additional siren should be paid
