With a 3-0 vote Thursday morning, Presiding Commissioner Marc Ellinger, Eastern District Commissioner Jeff Hoelscher and Western District Commissioner Chris Wrigley told the county’s smaller towns and cities they must tell the commission by July 15 if they want to take part in the county’s contract to buy the warning sirens.
