The council authorized the purchase of two 2026 Horton Type 1 ambulances through a Sourcewell cooperative purchasing contract for a total not to exceed $822,092. Fire Chief Tim Gauthier described the purchase as part of the department’s six‑year front‑line replacement cycle and said the vehicles are replacements for aging medic units.
Chief Gauthier said standardized apparatus improve crew familiarity and patient care; the department estimated delivery in July 2027 due to industry supply‑chain constraints. Council approved the resolution unanimously.
