Cameron County approves $1,333 Act 13 purchase for emergency‑communications batteries
Summary
The Cameron County Board of Commissioners approved a $1,333.28 purchase from Mobile Comm for PowerSonic 12‑volt SLA batteries to be paid from Act 13 funds, citing a time‑sensitive opportunity to install batteries at tower sites while labor fees were waived.
The Cameron County Board of Commissioners approved a $1,333.28 purchase of PowerSonic 12‑volt sealed lead‑acid batteries from Mobile Comm on a voice vote during its meeting.
Chair presented the quote and said the county had a general‑fund plan to rotate batteries on tower sites but a vendor offered to install on an additional site and waive labor fees, creating a time‑sensitive cost‑saving opportunity that could not wait for the quarterly Act 13 review. Commissioner Josh moved to approve the purchase and John Clapley seconded; the chair called the motion carried by voice vote.
The chair said the purchase will be charged to Act 13 funds and that the county needs to act promptly to capture the waived labor costs. No roll‑call tally was recorded in the minutes; the chair announced the motion carried. Procurement and installation will proceed under the vendor quote, and staff indicated they would complete the purchase in time to meet the vendor’s schedule.
