Hardin County Fiscal Court on a unanimous roll call on Tuesday approved a seven-year lease with Flex Financial, a division of Stryker Sales LLC, for $881,739.46 to buy EMS equipment and concurrently advanced a $1.2 million budget amendment tied largely to ambulance upgrades.
County Attorney Jenny Old opened the public hearing required by the Kentucky Department for Local Government, saying, “The Department of Local Government requires any purchase, over or lease over $500,000 that we advertised and that we have a hearing to accept public comment. So this concerns the $882,000 lease over 7 years for equipment for EMS.” No members of the public spoke at the hearing.
The lease covers six power-load systems, 10 PowerPro XT cots and five StairPro stair chairs plus maintenance over the lease term. The court voted on resolution 182 to approve the lease; the roll call recorded unanimous yes votes by the magistrates present and Judge Executive Keith Tull.
