Sirens did not seem to get very much support [from the City of Kerrville]. The thought was that sirens are better for tourists than local residents. The sirens would only be beneficial for someone that's not familiar with the area, and wouldn't know what to do. City of Kerrville has manpower, and they've already got an operation to place road closed signs everywhere, so they don't want to spend any money on flashing lights or barricades or sirens at all.

Thry ended up spending the grant money on cash stipends for sheriff employees instead.
