Cole County approves LAPC grant-funded purchase of four-gas monitors for Jeff City Fire Department
Summary
The county authorized a $10,582.36 purchase of two four-gas monitors for the Jeff City Fire Department using LAPC grant funds; the county will be reimbursed by the grant and the LAPC will vote to release funds to the county.
County staff told commissioners on March 17 that emergency management applied for LAPC grant funds for several items and was awarded one request: two four-gas monitors (two units destined for Jeff City Fire Department). Because the county holds LAPC funds, staff asked the commission to authorize the purchase now and be reimbursed after the LAPC votes to release funds.
The total purchase cost stated in the meeting was $10,582.36. Staff said the grant will reimburse the county and the LAPC will later vote to release the funds so the county is made whole for the expenditure. A commissioner moved to approve the purchase from All Safe Industries; the motion was seconded and approved by voice vote.
Commissioners offered no substantive changes to the procurement; the primary discussion point was the grant reimbursement mechanism and ensuring the county is reimbursed by the LAPC.
