St. Clair County 9-1-1 board approves mutual-aid MOU and ARPA-funded generator purchase
Summary
The St. Clair County 9-1-1 board approved an annual mutual-aid memorandum of understanding and authorized purchase of a natural-gas generator estimated at $38,800 using American Rescue Plan Act subrecipient funds, pending legal review and federal procurement compliance.
The St. Clair County 9-1-1 board on March 25 approved an annual memorandum of understanding for mutual aid in public-safety dispatching and authorized the purchase of a natural-gas generator estimated at $38,800 using American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) subrecipient funds, pending the county attorney's review and confirmation that federal procurement rules will be followed.
The MOU — described by the board as an annual renewal to ensure mutual-aid arrangements for public-safety dispatch — was approved by voice vote with no discussion recorded. The board then considered a motion to buy a generator for the investigator’s building on Bruce Avenue Drive. The item was described as a natural-gas unit tied to a new gas line; officials noted another generator project is also underway for a different site.
Board members emphasized adherence to federal procurement requirements because ARPA funds and related grant conditions apply. The motion to approve the generator purchase carried by voice vote. The 9-1-1 board then adjourned and the full county commission meeting began.
No roll-call tallies were recorded in the transcript; votes were taken by voice and recorded as "aye."
