CIVIL DEFENSE SIRENS <br />Public Works Superintendent Jeff Frid stated that the City currently has four outdated sirens <br />that are 30+ years old. Ramsey County is upgrading their triggering system and we are being <br />required to update ours as well. He pointed out the current sirens and decibel levels that are in <br />place in the City as shown on Attachment B. The minimum we need to do to meet Ramsey <br />County requirements is put new controllers in the current sirens. However, if we purchase the <br />proposed new sirens but keep the current sites the City would be covered with only two of the <br />new sirens. <br />Mayor David Grant directed Staff to bring the item forward to the next Council meeting.
