The full story

Committee members discussed two dive-team capital requests: a surface-supplied air system to provide a constant air source for divers (quoted cost in the presentation approximately $24,999.44) and a custom-fitted trailer to replace an overweight unit (presentation itemized the trailer at about $29,005.65 plus cabinetry around $11,006.58). Staff said the purchases would help support mutual-aid responses for neighboring counties that lack dive resources.
