Pulaski County Fiscal Court OKs routine requests, authorizes $19,795 housing draw and equipment actions
Summary
The Pulaski County Fiscal Court approved routine administrative requests including a $19,795 pass‑through draw for a senior housing purchase, transfer of a surplus fire truck to Pongo Fire Department, authorization to bid for eight SCBA sets, and several departmental procurement items.
The Pulaski County Fiscal Court met and approved a slate of routine administrative actions on motions and unanimous or near‑unanimous voice votes.
The court approved a first draw request of $19,795 to support a senior housing purchase; officials said the county will act only as a pass‑through and the amount will not be taken from the general fund until the grant funds are received. The request was moved and seconded and the court voted to authorize the draw.
The court also approved transferring a surplus 1993 International fire truck to Pongo Fire Department. Stacy, a public safety representative, said the receiving department will complete necessary repairs; the motion passed after a second and voice vote in favor.
Members authorized advertising for bids to purchase eight self‑contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) sets for Bronson Fire Department. The motion carried after the court voted; one participant voiced a “no” during the roll of support for the motion.
Other routine approvals included switching county phones to a T‑Mobile plan (24 phones and nine tablets) described as a savings measure (no contract was signed at the meeting), purchasing a locally found box truck for the solid waste/road department arrangement, and approval of two $200 cash drawers for the county clerk’s office to support March operations.
Treasurer Chrissa presented and the court approved January bank reconciliations and the January treasurer settlement following a brief review. Road department requests for 3,000 tons of rock, 4,000 gallons of tack oil and the court’s road list also were approved.
