VILLAGE OF LITTLE CHUTE
RESOLUTION NO. __, SERIES OF 2019
A RESOLUTION NOTIFYING OUTAGAMIE COUNTY OF THE VILLAGE OF LITTLE
CHUTE’S INTENT ON TAKING OWNERSHIP OF THE COUNTY OUTDOOR WARNING
SYSTEM.
WHEREAS, in early 2018, Outagamie County approached municipalities in the county to
discuss transferring maintenance, ownership, and replacement as of 1/1/2020; and
WHEREAS, Outagamie County has adopted County Board Resolution 21-2018-2019
outlining the position of turning over these essential emergency management functions to local
municipalities and the county has asked each municipality to identify the future of each local outdoor
warning system; and
WHEREAS, there is no one medium of communication that can protect all residents all the
time, outdoor warning sirens have historically been the most cost effective and could easily be
coupled with the other means of communication to create a more robust and effective system; and
WHEREAS, utilizing technology and weather radios are great supplemental tools, the sirens
are a vital component for some of our county’s most vulnerable residents, particularly in light of the
fact that the county and local municipalities have been making investments in outdoor recreational
amenities that will draw diverse populations from across the region; and
WHEREAS, communities throughout the Midwest continue to rely and invest in sirens as
one type of tool in enabling public agencies to notify large segments of the public during times of
inclement weather, including larger metro areas like Dane County, WI and Nashville, TN; and
WHEREAS, the costs to operate, maintain, and acquire sirens, when averaged over the
lifecycle, is less than $2,000 per warning siren annually, and
WHEREAS, the decision to have 21 municipalities in Outagamie County individually
determine if they should utilize a county wide system is an ineffective and inefficient policy that could
have severe ramifications for all county residents and visitors to our communities.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED by the Village Board of Trustees that
the for the safety considerations of our residents and visitors to our community, the Village of Little
Chute will take ownership of the Outdoor Warning System located at Village Hall in Little Chute.
Introduced, approved and adopted: June 5th, 2019.
