Local meeting authorizes up to $5,000 for new fire station sign
Summary
Board members voted to authorize withdrawal of up to $5,000 from the Suwannee fire tool and equipment non restricted account to purchase and install a new fire station sign; vendor quote cited about $4,800 and a local installer may waive labor, reducing cost.
The body voted to authorize withdrawal of up to $5,000 from the 'Suwannee fire tool and equipment non restricted account' to purchase and install a new sign for the town's new fire station.
During discussion Speaker 1 summarized the request and said the quote on hand was "about 4,800" and that "Gordon indicated that they'd be willing to install it at no charge," which Speaker 1 said would reduce the net cost by roughly $900 if the sign is received. Speaker 1 also said "Deputy Chief Burke is checking into the timing for the sign," and argued that an "up to $5,000" authorization was prudent because delivery timing remained uncertain.
Speaker 2 moved to authorize the withdrawal and Speaker 5 seconded. Speaker 1 called for further discussion and then a voice vote; multiple participants replied "Aye." The transcript records the voice vote as "Aye" but does not provide a roll-call or numerical tally.
The motion described in the meeting minutes was: "authorize the withdrawal of up to $5,000 from the Suwannee fire tool and equipment non restricted account for the purchase of installation of a sign for the new fire station." The motion was seconded and approved by voice vote. The transcript does not specify a formal recorded tally or whether any member abstained or was absent.
The meeting record shows no additional details about the vendor selected, delivery schedule, or a finalized installation date; Deputy Chief Burke was identified in the discussion as the person checking on timing. The board recessed until 7:00 p.m. later in the meeting.
