Mayor Kessler met with Chris Overbeck last week and discussed everything for the Siren. It will be placed on a pole; the pole will be put up by the water tower and the pole has been delivered. There is currently a pole in the same area that needs to be replaced, so the electricity will be switched from the old pole to the new pole and the Siren will be placed on the new pole. Ameren will be contacted for approval/guidance. The Village of Noble will be responsible for the cost of switching electrical, etc. to the new pole. Mayor Kessler said once everything is in place he will inform the resident of what it is for. Trustee Klingler asked what day the test would be done and was informed County will make that decision.
