Kentwood Fire committee approves March 24 minutes, scraps malfunctioning computer and accepts monthly reports
Summary
At a Tangipahoa Parish Kentwood Fire meeting excerpt, members approved the March 24 minutes, authorized disposal of a repeatedly failing computer, and accepted monthly budget reports after roll-call votes.
Members of the Tangipahoa Parish Kentwood Fire committee approved three routine items on the agenda: the minutes from the March 24 meeting, surplus and disposal of a Kentwood Fire computer that had failed despite repairs, and the committee's monthly reports.
The approvals came after motions and roll-call votes. The committee recorded affirmative votes from multiple members for each item during the meeting excerpt.
Why it matters: These routine approvals complete administrative housekeeping that allows the department to dispose of obsolete equipment and continue monthly financial oversight.
The committee opened with a roll call before taking up approval of minutes from its March 24 meeting. A motion to approve the minutes was made and seconded; a roll call recorded affirmative votes including Mr. Engraffier, Mr. Joseph, Mr. Havas, Mr. Richland, Mr. Mays, Mr. Wells, Mr. Vial, Ms. Hyde and Ms. Ciatek, among others. The motion passed on that recorded roll call.
On the Kentwood Fire matter, a committee member reported that a department computer had been rebuilt twice and had finally failed. A motion to surplus and scrap the computer was made by Mr. Joseph and seconded by Mr. Syneggar; a roll call recorded affirmative votes from members present and the motion passed.
The committee then considered its monthly budget and operational reports. A committee member reported the budget was generally "under budget or right at it" and that regular reviews with Dennis James occur roughly monthly. A motion to accept the monthly reports was made by Mr. Joseph and seconded by Mr. Viel. Roll-call votes recorded affirmative votes from those present and the motion passed.
Meeting announcements and non-decision items followed, including a chiefs meeting scheduled at the Claussen Building and other community notes.
