Berkeley County operations committee approves vehicle replacements, amends EMS funding source
Summary
The operations committee approved vehicle replacements including a John Deere Gator and a dump truck and approved replacement of an EMS QRV, amending the funding source from general fund to capital fund balance by motion.
Berkeley County's operations committee approved multiple equipment replacements and a funding-source amendment for emergency medical service equipment.
Members approved replacement of a John Deere Gator at Cypress Gardens after an at-fault collision; the insurance revenue fund paid $3,010 toward a $13,586.72 replacement, leaving a $10,586.72 delta to be covered from the Cypress Gardens fund balance. The motion carried by voice vote.
The committee then approved replacement of an EMS QRV with a total replacement cost of $63,969.00 (combined figure of $43,472.26 requested from fund balance plus a previously received insurance payout of $20,496.74). During discussion Supervisor Cribb asked why the General Fund was the source; the motion was amended at the table to pull the money from the capital fund balance instead of the General Fund, and the amendment carried by voice vote before the motion passed.
Finally, the committee approved replacing a total-loss dump truck with a transfer of $145,726.50 from the appropriate fund balance (capital fund balance was corrected) in addition to an insurance payout of $89,758.50; the motion carried by voice vote.
