Council hears plan for $65,000 CAD system and $250,000 rescue truck; funding sources under review
Summary
Council discussed Resolution 01-13-2025 bravo to upgrade emergency response: a computer-aided dispatch system estimated at $65,000 and a new squad rescue truck at $250,000. Staff cited a possible $15,000 offer for the old truck and said ARPA and OEI-related funds are being pursued.
The Village city council reviewed a proposed resolution on Jan. 13 to authorize steps toward improving emergency response capabilities, including procurement of a computer-aided dispatch (CAD) system and a new squad rescue truck for the fire department.
"Looking at computer aided dispatch system, for 65,000 and the new squad rescue truck, 250,000," Speaker 3 said while presenting cost estimates. The transcript shows staff described prior donation of an older truck and advised they had received an offer of $15,000 for that vehicle: "We have 1 offer for 15,000 right now," Speaker 5 said.
Speakers discussed potential funding sources. Staff indicated an ARPA application has been submitted and mentioned OEI/Oklahoma Emergency Medical Association as part of funding conversations. Speaker 3 said the application and grant-follow up were in process and that the resolution would authorize the mayor or designee to complete procurement steps.
The transcript does not record a final vote on the resolution. The council recorded the estimates, discussed disposal of the old vehicle and awaited formal grant award notifications before proceeding with purchase decisions.
