(KLZA)--Richardson County Commissioners discussed outdoor warning sirens in the Village of Shubert and the Village of Barada when they met June 3.
Dylan Handley, Clerk/Treasurer of the Village of Barada met with Commissioners and Emergency Management Agency Director Brian Kirkendall to regarding insurance coverage for the outdoor warning siren located within the corporate limits of the Village of Barada.
The County is requesting the village provide the insurance coverage for the siren while the County would continue to provide the maintenance. Handley reported the Village Board had decided no to insure the siren at this time.
The outdoor siren in Shubert was furnished and completely maintained and insured by the Cooper Nuclear Station at Brownville. 
Once the Cooper Station begins using the IPAWS warning system to notify those within the emergency planning zones, the warning siren will be removed.  Kirkendall will be meeting with the Village Board in Shubert to inform them of the matter and determine if the Village is willing to provide for insurance of an outdoor warning siren if one is placed in the village.
