public address system. The
proposal is to buy 56 of them,
which in turn would cover 95
percent of Houston County.
The cost is listed as $1,510,000
with an additional $290,000
for a MOSCAD system.
The MOSCAD system,
explained Jimmy Williams,
is “something that would go
on our 800 trunking system
which would allow these
sirens to receive the signals
these set off.”
The phone system John
Williams referred to was
billed as a supplement.
It is pretty much what
it sounds like - although it
has certain advantages in
its own right - you receive
a call on your home and/or
work and/or cell phone telling
you what the emergency is.
(The Board of Education cur
rently uses this system). The
cost for it would be approxi
mately $256,600 each year.
(Plus somebody would have
to be hired to plug in all those
phone numbers.
So why isn’t Perry on board
with the more in-depth study
(requests for proposals, et
cetera) ... yet. Yet, because

the meeting, asked Perry City
Manager Lee Gilmour, who

was representing Perry with
Mayor Jim Worrall not there,
if he would set up a special
called meeting (and Gilmour
agreed to try; maybe as early
as Monday - the day Sanders
lobbied for) to discuss it more
at length.
Well for starters Perry
already has a siren system
- fdur sirens - in place.
It was asked by Centerville
Mayor Bubba Edwards if their
system covered all those areas
that have been annexed into
the city limits since the sys
tem was first put into place
and the answer was “no.”
But, responded Perry Police
Chief George Potter, “we
can expand our system a lot
cheaper than you’re asking us
to come up with right now.”
Potter was referring to
the $156,000 that is listed as
Perry’s fair share of the cost
to have the system installed.
That figure by the way,
Sanders said, could go up or
down based on the results of
the study. It would assuredly
go down - Perry would get
a credit, he said - if Perry’s
current system is compatible
with the new system.
But they won’t know until
they do the study, he added,
and therein lies another
sticking point - maybe “the”
sticking point. Perry is not
sure it wants to help pay
for a study when in the end

it may not even be a player
in the new system. In other
words, if it would be more
cost effective for it to stay
the course it is currently on.
“If the resolution or gen
eral intention is for the juris
dictions to go forward and
come back with a proposal,”
Gilmour said. “I think that
would probably be fine (with
Perry City Council mem
bers).
“(But) if it’s about going
ahead on principle and auto
matically sharing in the cost
of the system without any
additional details (however),
I think that might be a prob
lem for them.”
Explained Sanders, the
latter to a certain extent is
exactly what it is. He said
they weren’t asking for the
$156,000 up front, just for
Peny to own up to what fig
ured out to be its share of the
cost of the study. And, to com-

mit now that it would con
tinue on with the other three
should it be decided to go
forward following the results
of the study. (He also added
this could not be part of a
SPLOST, as he said the next
SPLOST isn’t until 2012.)
“Going forward with a
study implies some com
mitment of funds in and of
itself,” said Sanders. “From
a reality point of view, we
have to make a commitment
and it involves some funds.
“So we need them to step
up to the table and either
say ‘yeah we’re going to be
a player’ or ‘no we’re not.’
And not try to play it safe
fund wise.”
Added Gilmour: “You’re
coming in and asking the
municipalities and the coun
ty to buy into a program that
has an approximate cost,”
he said. “Then the study is
done but you’re already in.”

“That’s right,” Sanders
said. “In this world ... we
live in a world of uncertainty
and have to make decisions
on conditions of uncertainty.

penny is nailed down often
