"The City of Dickson may get more emergency weather sirens in addition to the one located at the William D. Field Industrial Park (That's where the Sentry 16V1T-B is).
City Administrator Tim Waychoff recieved approval by the Dickson City Council at its meeting Monday to research installing a new siren system for the city. The system would consist of anywhere between four to eight sirens, he said.
Waychoff said the city has about $100,000 in spending capitol and that each siren could cost anywhere between $15,000 and $25,000 "depending on the system and quality."
Waychoff said the matter of installing the emergency sirens came up a couple of months ago and that it's going to take some time and research before we will have any concrete information to present to the council.
Councilman Richard Arnold, Ward 2, said at the meeting that if and when the system is approved on all levels, the new sirens should be put in at one time, rather than over a 3-to-5 year period. The council agreed on that plan of action."
Thank GOD, Dickson isn't like Nashville at least! I'm glad this is happening, we've been needing this system forever.
