On Monday, the Ethridge City Council convened for an urgent meeting focused exclusively on securing funding for the necessary repairs to one of the city’s two tornado warning sirens. The situation arose after the initial low bidder for the repair project withdrew their proposal, prompting a reevaluation of the bids.
During the meeting, council members learned that the next lowest bidder had revised their offer to match the amount of the first bid. After careful consideration, the council voted in favor of accepting this adjusted bid. City officials are optimistic that the repair work will be finalized by the end of December, ensuring that the siren will be fully operational in time for the upcoming storm season.
