City Manager Kimball deferred discussion to both Chiefs Mackey and Mynderup for their expertise ChiefMackey provided some background and information on a Community Siren. The City of Jackson used tol have one, it sat on top oft the Courthouse. Iti is an alerting system to alert community there is a structure fire or some sort of emergency warning. People can then start checking their phones, Facebook and other resources for any reports. There are al lot of advantages, especially for the elderly. There are Code Red alerts, but you have the possibility of missing them if people are not at home, outside, or not be able to wake up for them. The sirens are used throughout the world and with many different types ofs sirens. The mobile home park cannot install a siren due to liability reasons and regulations and deferred them to the city as it is usually a city-wide alerting system. Chief Mynderup added that in addition to the city-wide system, and the Governor signed al Bill 909 into law last year, that allowed emergency vehicles to be installed with a high/low audible warning siren that is specifically used to notify citizens oft the need to evacuate. JPD has 4 vehicles that have the siren capability and could be activated with a little programming. For their remaining vehicles, the siren system would need to bei installed and programmed. Chiefadded ift they need to target an area, this will come in use. City-wide siren could put everybody on alert and JPD could get into the Mayor Stimpson returned to Council.

She understands that the City ofl Ione is grandfathered in and Sutter Creek is also putting ini theirs. She wants to make sure if, and when we do this, that it is CM McLean asked ift there were any negatives reported on this siren. ChiefMackey stated that the City ofIone frequently get complaints, it'st the old timers that conditions the newcomers and lets them know that the siren system is a very much needed alert warning device. There is information that came out oft the Wildland Fires, specifically in the Napa Valley that started in the middle of the night, ito came without warning. There was not a way to get to the citizens. There will be complaints, dogs will howl, people will say 'we were sleeping' can you doi it at a different time. The siren doesn't mean for people to evacuate, it's meant tol be a warning that there is an emergency somewhere; look at your code red, look at your phone, call your resources and find out what is going on.
