ELLIS – Ellis City Council members will hear an update tonight from Ellis County Fire Chief Darin Myers about storm warning sirens.

The outdoor warning systems in the county are approximately 40 years old and need to be replaced.  The cost of replacing the system will be approximately $182,700. Myers has said it will be funded through capital reserves. He will also discuss the plan with Ellis County commissioners during their meeting at 5 p.m. today in Hays.

In other business, council members will consider approval of an ordinance to rezone 808 Washington Street, as well as the Ellis Community Foundation’s miniature train project.

The complete agenda follows.
