CITY OF SCANDIA
To:
City of Scandia Mayor Randall Simonson;City Council Members Connie Amos,Chris Ness,Sally Swanson,
and 1im Schneider:
We have contacted the City Administrator with a concern about a large number of City residents being
unable to hear the City of Scandia's weather alert sirens. We raised a similar concern fifteen years ago
and were told at that time there was no budget to address the situation. Although the leadership and
adminis#ration for Scandia has changed,the response to this public sa#ety concern has not. We have
been advised again that there is not a budget to address the issue.
There are approximately 100 homes on the west side of Big Marine Lake,off Manning Trail. This is at
least one area in the City where weather alert sirens from our own City or any surrounding community
cannot be heard. There are a large number of Scandia residents living in this area whose safety is at risk
at times of severe weather events. Weather conditions seem to have become more volatile in recent
years. Not being able hear the sirens is of great concern to us and others in our neighborhood who
have signed this request for the issue to be addressed.
Our concern is principally with residents of the community, but there is also risk for the boaters who use
Big Marine Lake through two public access points.
We know one of the issues you will fikely deliberate is where such a siren might be located. Two
suggestions are to use land already under either City or County ownership—the drain field for the 201
wastewater system on Manning Trail or the Park property on the south end of Big Marine Lake.
We would appreciate this safety issue receiving attention and action.
Thanks for your consideration.
