Board OKs phased SCBA purchase for Fire Department using grant funds
Summary
Cramerton authorized the purchase of self‑contained breathing apparatuses (SCBAs) for the fire department through a cooperative purchase agreement, to be funded from a $1.5 million grant and procured over three fiscal years.
Commissioner Dixie Abernathy moved to approve the purchase of self‑contained breathing apparatuses (SCBAs) for the Cramerton Fire Department over three fiscal years; Mayor Pro Tempore Richard Atkinson seconded and the motion passed unanimously.
Fire Chief Foulk presented the request and said the department would use a cooperative purchase contract to realize discounted pricing. The presentation noted that funding will be drawn from a $1.5 million grant; the meeting transcript does not specify the grant source or the total equipment cost. The board approved the phased purchase so the department can proceed with procurement under the cooperative agreement.
