Summary
Hardin County Fiscal Court on Oct. 14 approved EMS personnel hires, a $1.2 million budget amendment that includes Stryker ambulance equipment, and two FEMA repair contracts; the court tabled an occupancy agreement with West Hardin Fire & Rescue and an engineering services agreement pending county attorney review.
Hardin County Fiscal Court approved multiple personnel and budget actions and authorized FEMA-funded road repairs during its Oct. 14 regular voting meeting, while tabling two contracts for further legal review.
The court approved a resolution to add EMS personnel, adopted a midyear budget amendment that includes about $1.2 million for ambulance equipment from Stryker plus road and bridge items, and authorized two FEMA public-works contracts to repair Stovall Road and Hall Road. Two agreements — an occupancy agreement with West Hardin Fire & Rescue and an engineering/GIS services agreement with Lincoln Trail — were tabled after members said the county attorney had not yet reviewed the contracts.
The actions affect county emergency services staffing and equipment, capital repairs funded in part by FEMA, and standing-payment authority for an EMS equipment lease.
