Council authorizes bidding for phased medic‑unit purchase
Summary
Fire Chief Jason Francis presented a phased plan for a new medic unit and Council authorized all proposed phases so staff can solicit bids; Council will amend the budget when bids are awarded.
Fire Chief Jason Francis told Council the presentation in January outlined the capital‑improvement need for a new medic unit and that staff now had a more detailed, phased procurement plan in the meeting packet. Chief Francis asked to go out to bid for the first phase; Councilman Dave Riggenbach recommended authorizing all three proposed phases so the department could proceed without additional motions.
Council moved on Riggenbach’s suggestion: the motion to authorize all proposed phases was seconded by Councilman Joe Bublick and passed 5–0. Administrator Jordan Daugherty said Council would later have to award the successful bid and amend the budget to allocate the funds for the purchase.
