Commission endorses roughly $1.8 million in vehicle replacement recommendations
Summary
The commission approved CIP recommendations to replace four vehicles — including a tanker, brush truck, an ambulance and a response vehicle — with committee-estimated allocations totaling about $1.8 million; final amounts depend on county budget and the penny value set by the board of supervisors.
The Montgomery County Fire and Rescue Commission endorsed capital-improvement recommendations that would replace four vehicles in the coming fiscal year, with committee estimates totaling about $1.8 million.
Speaker 2 summarized the CIP committee’s recommendation: replace Rhino Fire’s tanker and brush truck, provide Christiansburg EMS a new ambulance, and fund a response vehicle for rescue. Speaker 2 gave committee allocations for the vehicles and said the total was roughly $1.8 million, but cautioned the figure is dependent on where the county’s penny value falls and final board-of-supervisors approval.
Speaker 4 moved to approve the recommendations; the motion was seconded and carried by voice vote. Commission members did not amend the packet amounts during the meeting and directed staff to forward the recommendation for the board of supervisors’ review as part of the county’s capital budgeting process.
No specific financing plan or funding source breakdown was adopted at the meeting; Speaker 2 said those specifics would be confirmed when the penny value and final county allocation are set.
