PUBLIC SERVICES CCMMITTEE
HER;10' APP,ROVE THE FOREGONG RESOLUTION
COUNTYWIDE OUTDOOR WARNING SYSTEM GRANT NARRATIVE
From 1976 to 1980, Oakland County received federal grant money
for an outdoor siren warning system. Currently, there are 157
sirens on the system, 109 were purchased in part with federal
funds.
No money has been available since 1981. However, we have
continued to submit letters of interest for warning and
communication funds. Unexpectedly, this year we were tentatively
approved for $3,000. For 1992, Brandon Township was the only
community to process a siren purchase. Whereas Brandon has no
siren coverage, the federal request was approved.
Miscellaneous Resolution #92053 for the tornado warning system
expansion appropriated $4,250 of county match to Brandon's
$12,750 match, for a total of $17,000 for a siren purchase. This
$3,000 federal grant will reduce the purchase price to $14,000.

Dear Ms. Novak:
Your request to use the FY 91 Direction Control and Warning funds to
install a radio control warning siren in Brandon Township is approved.
Upon completion of the project, submit proof of payment and the
documentation listed in my letter of May 7, 1992. Reimbursement is
limited to $3,000 on a 50/50 match basis.
The grant was originally approved to convert warning sirens to radio
activated control. This revision is approved because Brandon Township
does not have warning siren coverage.
If you have any questions, please call me at (517) 334-5105.
Sincerely,
d. /Vitt)
