Justin Harris, identified in the meeting as a county emergency services representative, told the commission that the ambulances’ cardiac monitors are past the manufacturer-recommended service life and that the current vendor will stop certifying and supplying parts after April 1, 2025. Harris said the vendor agreed to deliver four new monitors and two stair chairs now if the county commits to a second payment in the next budget year.

Why it matters: Harris emphasized the monitors are critical medical equipment used on all ambulances to measure cardiac rhythms, oxygen saturation and other vital signs; he described the devices as essential for detecting heart attacks and guiding prehospital treatment.

Funding and plan: Harris said the county’s current budget included $100,000 for monitor replacement but total costs were about $180,000. The vendor proposed a payment plan: $100,000 now and the remainder when tax receipts arrive in the next fiscal year. Harris also said the vendor offered to buy back old monitors at set prices, which offsets some cost.

Discussion and vote: Commissioners discussed the liability risk if failing monitors are left in service and noted the county’s intent to seek a state EMS equipment grant next year to fund additional replacements. A motion to commit the $100,000 line item and proceed with the vendor arrangement passed; affirmative votes were recorded during roll call in the transcript.

Implementation: County staff said replacing equipment now avoids operating with monitors the vendor will no longer support; the county will plan to pursue a recurring state EMS grant next year to replace additional stretchers and equipment.

The resolution authorizes the county to submit a CDBG application on behalf of the Town of Woodbury for a waterline extension serving about 16 houses on Old Prospect Road, with an estimated project cost of roughly $600,000. County staff said the county is eligible to apply for up to $2,000,000 in CDBG funds but proposed concentrating the application on the single road where homeowner interest was strongest.

Why it matters: Many residents in the area lack access to municipal drinking water. County staff and the commission said focusing the application on the concentrated group of households increases the project’s feasibility and the town of Woodbury has offered to serve the area if the project is funded.

Details: A county staff member identified in the meeting as Amanda (last name not provided) told commissioners that Old Prospect is split between areas that already have water service and those that do not, and that outreach letters returned a small number of confirmations of interest. She said Templeberry (as described in the meeting) has agreed to serve the area if the project is built.

Cost and scope: Staff estimated the cost for connecting the cluster on Old Prospect at about $600,000. Commissioners noted the county could apply for up to $2,000,000 in CDBG funds but chose to target the smaller, clearly defined need where household interest existed.

Action and vote: Commissioner motion and second led to approval of Resolution 2025-1. The motion carried by voice vote; several commissioners responded “yes” during the roll call sequence recorded in the meeting.

Votes at a glance (other actions taken during the meeting): The commission also approved routine items including the agenda and consent minutes; named Naiman Bridge on Knox Road the Terry Hope Memorial Bridge; approved a six-month revision to tire disposal fees; approved the City of Woodbury’s request to explore using the upper transfer station area; and approved several grant- and budget-related items (listed in the meeting record as VA 24/25-7-6, VA 24/25-8 and VA 24/25-9). Those items were voted on and passed with affirmative responses recorded in the meeting transcript.

What’s next: With the resolution approved, county staff will proceed with the CDBG application process with the Tennessee Department of Economic and Community Development. Specific timelines for application submission and award notification were not specified in the meeting.
