Council approves $62,796 purchase of new radios for fire department
Summary
The council approved payment of $62,796 to Motorola for radios for the fire department, a project included in the 2025 capital improvement plan and recommended by the fire board.
The New Richmond City Council approved payment for a radio purchase for the fire department totaling $62,796, following a recommendation from the fire board.
Staff said radio replacement was included in the 2025 capital improvement plan with an estimated cost of $75,000 and that the city purchased radios from Motorola for $62,796. Staff noted the procurement had not been taken to the fire board and council prior to purchase, and apologized for the sequence; the fire board recommended proceeding with payment.
An alderman moved to approve payment and the council approved the purchase by roll call. Staff said they will address internal procedures to avoid similar sequencing in the future.
