Genola council approves $310,964 in monthly expenditures and $16,600 in fire work orders
Summary
Council approved monthly expenditures including a $248,000 initial chassis payment for a new fire truck and authorized three fire-related work orders totaling $16,600 for radios, turnout gear and a storage container.
The Genola Town Council approved total expenditures for the previous month of $310,964.47, noting that $248,000 of that total is the initial payment for the chassis on a new fire truck that is on order. The council then approved three work orders totaling $16,600 to support the department’s operations.
Chief Hurst (fire chief) described the work-order items: a $3,600 cost for a Motorola remote-head radio needed to fit into an incoming engine’s dash, two sets of turnout gear for new personnel (ordered through a Salt Lake County cooperative purchasing program, delivery expected in September), and a $6,000 Connex storage container to hold equipment being transferred off a government-surplus truck the town will return to the state. The Connex was described as storage for donated equipment and spare parts the department wants kept out of the weather.
Council members confirmed the expenditures are budgeted for the next fiscal year and moved to approve. A council member asked whether the new Freightliner would arrive with compatible radios; staff said the Forest Service units often use VHF and that radio compatibility would be confirmed. The motion to approve the work orders passed. The council also accepted and filed the minutes of the May 21 meeting in the same session.
No individual roll-call vote tallies for the expenditures and work-order motions were recorded in the transcript beyond the mayor calling the motion, a second and the chair stating, “Motion passes.”
