Budget committee approves $2.4 million capital outlay note to replace ambulance equipment
Summary
The committee approved a $2.4 million capital outlay note at 0% interest to replace ambulance lifts, stair chairs and AEDs, to be paid from the general debt service fund over four years; the motion passed by voice vote.
The Wilson County budget committee approved a capital outlay note for $2.4 million at 0% interest to replace and upgrade emergency equipment, including ambulance lifts, stair chairs and AEDs, Speaker 1 said.
Speaker 1 described a four-year payment schedule at 0% interest with payments to come from the general debt service fund. "This replaces all the [cots], all the lifts on the ambulances, which are starting to get old," Speaker 1 said, and noted the juvenile debt service fund has a fund balance cited in the transcript.
Speaker 2 identified stair chairs as one of the equipment items. The motion was moved, seconded and approved by voice vote; the transcript records 'aye' but no roll-call tally.
What happens next: the county will proceed with the purchase through the vendor arranged under the proposed financing schedule; the transcript does not include vendor name or contract specifics beyond the financing terms, which are 'not specified' in detail.
