CAPITAL PLAN UPDATE

Projects and Lightning Detection!
I highlighted most of our projects in my letter on page 4.
We also finished installing the lightning detection systems.
We now have five units and they are located at; Knights
Park, Prairie View Elementary, Memorial Park, Veterans
Park and the high school concession building. Most of
the units are programed to turn on at 8:00am and off
at 9:00pm. The ones at Memorial Park and the high
school concession building turn off at 10:00pm due to
having lights available for late night activities. When
lightning is detected the horn sounds for 15 seconds,
only one time. After 30 minutes if no lightning is present
the three “all clear” horns sound.
