MEMO TO: Mayor and City Council <br />FROM: Clerk -Administrator ~� <br />DATE: June 8, 1983 <br />SUBJECT: EMERGENCY WARNING SYSTEM IMPROVEMENTS <br />As previously mentioned in a recent Administrative Newsletter, <br />this office has resurrected previous plans developed by the City <br />of Mounds View to improve our emergency warning system which <br />presently consists of two sirens covering approximately 30% of <br />the City's population. As you can note from the attached grant <br />application material, staff proposes that a third siren be purchased <br />and placed at the intersection of Edgewood Drive and County Road I <br />which, along with the relocation of the existing two sirens in the <br />extreme southeast and northwest corners of the City, would provide <br />siren coverage to approximately 90% of the City's population and, <br />in particular, the three trailer courts within the City of Mounds <br />View. It is estimated that the cost of the purchase of the new <br />siren, as well as the relocation of the existing two sirens, would <br />total $15,000. <br />The attached information for your review is <br />plan submitted to the State of. Minnesota for <br />application for 50% Federal funding for this <br />warning development <br />their approval and a <br />project. <br />Finally, attached is Resolution No. 1622 approving the submission <br />of the warning development plan and application for Federal assistance. <br />Should you approve of the program proposed by staff and the filing <br />of the grant application, adoption of this resolution will be <br />necessary to authorize the submittal of these items to the State, <br />with their ultimately being forwarded to the Federal government for <br />their funding considerations. <br />RECOMMENDATION: Adoption of Resolution No. 1622 authorizing <br />submission of a warning development plan and application for Federal <br />assistance. <br />DFP/pf <br />
