Commission approves purchase of 12 siren‑compliant radios for Emergency Management office
Summary
Grand Forks County approved buying 12 siren‑compliant radios; after state reimbursement, the county's net cost was reported as just over $6,000.
Grand Forks County commissioners approved the Emergency Management Office's request to purchase 12 siren‑compliant radios, with the purchase price reported to be within the department's budget and the county's net cost — after anticipated state reimbursement — "just over $6,000," officials said.
Kari Veil, representing Emergency Management, presented the purchase request and told commissioners the radios are budgeted and eligible for state reimbursement. Commissioners moved and seconded approval; the motion passed unanimously.
No follow‑up conditions were attached; staff said the purchase will proceed under the existing budget authority and that anticipated state reimbursement reduces the county's net expense.
The meeting record does not specify the vendor, model of radios, or exact reimbursement percentage; staff referenced the purchase packet provided to commissioners.
