Deputy Fire Chief Eric Jonas requested council approval to purchase a 2026 Chevrolet Tahoe, priced at $55,329.96, to serve as a spare vehicle for the Sprint Medic program. Staff explained the purchase is part of a state‑funded pilot that will reimburse the city for costs associated with ALS services provided by Virginia paramedics outside the Virginia ambulance service area.

Council moved and supported the resolution to purchase the Tahoe subject to the reimbursement arrangement; staff emphasized the purchase is not expected to come from the city’s general fund because of state reimbursement for the pilot program. The council approved the purchase by voice vote.
