Board approves $50,000 NG911 budget amendment, authorizes ambulance order and letter of intent for modular classrooms
Loading...
Summary
The Board approved a $50,000 budget amendment for the NG911 upgrade, authorized Emergency Services Coordinator Greg Hunter to order the next ambulance despite a 33-month lead time and anticipated $60,000 price increase (Burns recorded a nay), and approved a letter of intent to Wilmot for temporary modular classrooms for the KQES project.
The Board authorized several public-safety and capital moves during its Jan. 9 meeting.
On a motion by S. C. Alsop, the Board approved a budget amendment of $50,000 to apply NG911 grant funding toward completing the current 911 equipment upgrade and continuing regional 911 data upgrades. Emergency Services Coordinator Greg Hunter explained the funding will complete the current upgrade and support regional efforts; the motion carried by recorded vote.
Separately, Hunter reported suppliers estimate a 33-month lead time for a new ambulance and that an approximate $60,000 cost increase is expected soon. To keep the replacement schedule, the Board authorized him to order the next rescue vehicle now. The recorded vote on that authorization shows J. M. Burns voting nay; other supervisors voted yes.
On school facilities, County Administrator Vivian Seay and Wilmot representative Ryan Cantu reviewed three pricing options for acquiring modular classrooms for the KQES project. The Board authorized Seay to proceed with a letter of intent to Wilmot to acquire temporary classrooms.
Each item was approved with recorded votes as noted in the minutes.
