Rescue squad adds off-road vehicle after grant; local banks contributed trailer
Summary
Officials reported the rescue squad received a grant-funded side-by-side vehicle with a county match; two local banks purchased a trailer for the squad.
County officials reported the rescue squad acquired a new off-road side-by-side vehicle through a grant and a county match, and that two local banks donated a trailer to support search-and-rescue operations.
The presenter said the rescue squad received a grant and the county provided a local match (the presenter referenced a $3,200 match in the meeting). Officials described the new vehicle as suitable for search-and-rescue tasks and hauling equipment; photos were expected to be shared with the governing body when weather permitted.
Officials also thanked Booneville Bank and Farmers State Bank for purchasing a trailer for the squad; the presenter said the banks paid “30 some hundred dollars” for the trailer. The meeting record indicates the vehicle and trailer will support water hauling, search-and-rescue runs and other emergency responses.
No formal county appropriation vote for the match was detailed in the transcript beyond the presenter’s remarks about the grant match and the banks' purchase of the trailer.
