The IKE Board of Directors on July 16 approved a consolidated expenditure of $17,012.56 for communications equipment and related systems intended for Fire Station No. 1.
Attorney Jaworski summarized three vendor quotes: a Motorola quote for $3,650.56 for cabling and related hardware, a $494 quote for digital tone signaling, and a Valor Systems proposal for an incident-management system described in the packet as $12,686. Attorney Jaworski proposed a single motion covering items a, b and c for the total amount.
"So the motion could state, a motion to approve the items a, b, and c for a total expenditure approval of $17,012.56," Attorney Jaworski said.
Chief Elijah Willis moved the consolidated approval; Mayor Katrina Thompson seconded. Board members then completed a roll-call vote recorded in the meeting: Deputy Chief Martin, Chief Elijah Willis, Chief Brownell, Deputy Chief Johnson and Mayor Katrina Thompson voted yes. The chair announced the motion carried.
Board members discussed whether the director has discretion to approve smaller purchases without prior board action and noted the option of setting a future spending threshold so routine purchases could be handled administratively; no change to that policy was adopted at the meeting.
The board did not detail a procurement schedule in the meeting minutes; the approved payment authority covers the three quoted items listed on the agenda.
