Pratt County officials approve 3-year Stryker service contract, hire staff and fund ARPA tower work
Summary
At a regular Pratt County meeting, commissioners approved a 3-year service contract with Stryker for four cardiac monitors ($22,480.80 total), hired a part-time detention officer at $15/hour, and authorized ARPA-funded coax/antenna work for rural fire communications ($13,276). Vote tallies were recorded by voice vote only.
Pratt County officials at a regular meeting approved a three-year service contract with Stryker to cover maintenance of four cardiac monitors used by the county’s EMS fleet and took several personnel and equipment votes.
Speaker 8 told the commissioners the state EMS inspection found no deficiencies but noted one cardiac monitor had a partial failure. Stryker offered a three-year service agreement covering all four monitors for $7,493.60 per year, totaling $22,480.80. Speaker 8 said the contract would cover parts, labor, travel, batteries, annual inspections and loaners and recommended the agreement as a cost-avoidance measure compared with repeated out-of-warranty repairs. “The total cost for 3 years on all 4 would be $22,480.80,” Speaker 8 said.
Commissioners moved and approved the Stryker contract on a voice vote. The transcript records no roll-call tally or named vote counts.
The board also approved hiring Jonathan Bogovich as a part-time detention officer at $15 an hour after Speaker 4 made the motion and Speaker 1 seconded; the motion carried by voice vote. A separate motion approved a six-month $19.50 rate for an individual identified in the transcript once as “Daniel Ward” and later as “Daniel Martin”; the transcript contains inconsistent surname spelling for that item.
Officials authorized $13,276 in ARPA funds to install new coax and antennas for rural fire communications with Randy Tower Service. Speaker 1 moved the item, it received a first and second, and it passed on a voice vote.
Votes recorded in the transcript were conducted by voice and the record does not provide roll-call tallies or the names of movers/seconders for each item beyond what was read aloud in the meeting audio. The meeting agenda also included approval of minutes, a resolution about use of stickers on ballots and routine voucher approval, all of which the commission adopted by voice votes during the same session.
Next steps: contracts and personnel paperwork were signed or will be signed as appropriate and the county will proceed with the Stryker service enrollment and the ARPA-funded tower work.
