Board approves $10,300 to buy two deployable oxygen systems for EMA mobile unit

The board approved providing $10,300 from carryover funding to the county's emergency management agency to purchase two rapidly deployable oxygen distribution systems intended for the EMA mobile unit. Speaker 3 characterized the need as arising from ESF-8 discussions after flooding caused at least one assisted-living facility to lose oxygen distribution: she asked for permission "to use 10,300 of our carryover funding from last year...to purchase 2 of those that will go on the mobile unit" and to sign an MOU for EMA to purchase and maintain them.
