ITEM 3.1. <br /> <br />'ity of <br /> <br />'ver <br /> <br />FROM: <br /> <br />DATE: <br /> <br />SUBJECT: <br /> <br />MEMORANDUM <br /> <br />Pat Klaers, City Administrator <br />Mayor & City Council <br /> <br />Bruce A. West, Fire Chief <br /> <br />January 29, 1997 <br /> <br />1997 Emergency Siren Purchase <br /> <br />In the 1997 Budget under equipment reserve is a line item for the purchase <br />of two emergency sirens to be located in the City of Elk River. At this time I <br />have received quotes from Federal Warning Systems located in Rochester, <br />Minnesota for two 2001 SRN Federal Signal Corporation Emergency Sirens <br />with the capability of a 5,200 foot range of coverage. The cost of the sirens <br />with sales tax and shipping is $21,153.50. The second quotation from <br />Frontline Plus for Whelen Electronic Sirens with a 5,200 foot range of <br />coverage with sales tax and shipping is $21,560.70. <br /> <br />At this time I would like to accept the quote from Federal Warning Systems <br />for the purchase of two new 2001 Emergency Sirens at the cost of <br />$21, 153.50. Delivery of the new sirens are approximately 30 to 45 days. <br /> <br />I would also like to update you, at this time, as to where the two newly <br />purchased emergency sirens will be located in 1997. Please refer to the <br />enclosed map of the existing 13 siren locations. The second enclosed map <br />highlights the proposed areas of coverage for the sirens to be purchased in <br />1997. After discussion with Glenn Sundeen from Elk River Utilities, the two <br />locations for 1997 are 209th Avenue NW and Hoover Street, (located in the <br />southwest corner of that intersection) and Proctor Road and 201st Avenue <br />(approximately). Future siren locations in the City of Elk River include: <br />Ranch Road (County 33) and County Road 32; Highway 169 and 217th <br />Avenue NW; Elk Lake Road and 221st Avenue NW; the area at 211th and <br />Ogden Street, and Mississippi Road and Waco Street. <br /> <br />Also included in the 1997 Equipment Reserve Budget for emergency sirens is <br />the upgrading of one siren location. The siren located at the Freeport <br />Watertower is currently on a 40 foot pole. The ideal siren placement shall be <br />on a 55 foot pole for proper siren coverage. Therefore, I propose to upgrade <br />the location at the Freeport Watertower by removing the 40 foot pole and <br />placing the siren on a new 55 foot pole. <br /> <br />13065 Orono Parkway · P.O.
