Using an unordered list, summarize the following article with between 4 and 8 key points. The decision to add more insurance comes during a time of recent and high-level attacks not only against Mower County, which happened just a few days shy of a year ago, but also attacks on the city of St. Paul and two on Winona County this year already.Radar signs going upCounty Engineer Mitch Wenum also used Tuesday’s meeting to update the board on incoming radar speed signs being put up outside of Mower County communities.In total, seven of the signs will be installed this year in Lyle, Dexter, Racine and Lansing; locations Wenum said have drawn the most complaints over the years.The cities of Lyle, Dexter and Racine will be paying half the expenses for the signs with Mower County taking on 100% of the upkeep after the signs are in place.Lansing, because it is not an incorporated city, will have the costs for its signs covered 100% by Mower County.The total costs of the signs, which are used to reduce speeding, comes to just under $22,000. Wenum also added that there are more locations being considered.“We do have several more locations where these would make sense to install,” he said. “We’ll approach those communities in the future.”Wenum said it’s hoped that the signs will be place before schools head back to classes in the fall.
