The board extended the compliance deadline for Thomas (Tom) Shea at 1019 West Post Road to the board’s next meeting on Sept. 22. Shea addressed the board, said he appreciated the extra two weeks and indicated he expected to finish the cleanup within days. Board members set the next meeting deadline and said they would review the property again at that time.

The board also extended the compliance deadline for Richard Glass at 2007 Nickel Avenue to Sept. 22. A staff member told the board Glass had cut most vegetation and that one area adjacent to the sidewalk must be trimmed to a maximum height of 3 feet to meet the city ordinance regarding bushes and shrubbery used as a fence.

A board member made the motions to extend both deadlines; motions were seconded and recorded affirmative votes. The board told both property owners the next meeting would be treated as a final check; if the work remained incomplete, the board indicated it would consider further action.

Shea described a delay related to keys for his van and said that had slowed his work; he told the board he was close to completion.

A presenter said the department recently contracted to replace in‑car computers and that five older Toughbooks — for which serial numbers were shown to the board — would be transferred to county IT for possible reuse by smaller local departments. The presenter told the board that a large portion of remaining computers, about 90 units, were traded in previously under the replacement contract and that documentation on those trade-ins will be provided at a future meeting.

A board member asked whether the transfer was a donation; the presenter characterized it as a transfer to Madison County IT. The motion to transfer the five units passed after a second and recorded affirmative votes.

The presenter said Madison County IT had requested the units to allow smaller departments to use them in vehicles.

The presenter also described increases to longevity pay: from the current maximum of $5,500 in year one to $9,500; year two to $10,000; year three to $10,500; and year four to $11,000.

\"It was ratified by their membership 88 to 3,\" the presenter said, and asked the safety board to ratify the agreement.

Board members moved and seconded ratification of the contract. The chair and other members recorded affirmative votes and the motion passed.

The purchase was presented to the board as a procurement through HGAC, a cooperative purchasing agreement (QPA) the city uses for emergency vehicles. The presenter said the vehicle’s delivery is slated for 2027 but is more likely in 2028 and that the department plans to trade in an existing ambulance when the new unit arrives.

“The price continues to increase. This truck would be slated for delivery at the 2027, but more likely the 2028,” the chief said. He told the board the purchase is being made through HGAC and that the department will use a trade-in when the time comes.

Board members moved and seconded the motion to approve the purchase. The chair and at least one other member recorded “yes” votes and the motion passed.

The presenter told the board HGAC is one of two private QPAs the department subscribes to and that the vendor’s price was presented as the best option under that buying arrangement. No additional financing details, source of funds, or planned trade-in allowance were specified in the meeting record.

The board did not set a specific follow-up date for the trade-in or the exact vehicle to be retired. The department indicated it will return with trade-in documentation at a later meeting.","The Anderson City Safety Board approved spending $406,936 to buy a Braun ambulance from Penn Care through an HGAC cooperative purchase agreement, with delivery expected in 2027 or 2028 and a trade-in planned for the department's older unit.","actionData","errors"]
