Commissioners note resolutions for fire harnesses, air packs and police cameras; purchase details discussed
Summary
Commissioners reported several procurement and resolution items on the agenda, including air compressors, air packs and police cameras for the police department and a firehouse presentation on new harnesses; Vice Mayor Watson separately identified a $64,000 sewer utility crew cab as a budgeted item to tow a jetter and camera trailer. No votes were recorded in the transcript.
Commissioner Hwitt said the commission had resolutions on the agenda to fund an air compressor, air packs, and cameras for the police department and that the vendors had recently presented new harnesses and backpack systems to the fire department.
"We have the resolutions on for the air compressor, the air packs and the cameras for the police department tonight to pay for them and get them babies ordered," Commissioner Hwitt said, describing vendor presentations at the firehouse on new harness and bottle systems. (The transcript text here contains disfluencies; the reporter’s summary above paraphrases the procurement intent recorded in the hearing.)
Separately, Vice Mayor Watson identified a budget item for the sewer utility: a $64,000 crew cab to tow a jetter trailer and a video camera trailer, potentially replacing a pickup currently out of service. The transcript does not record contract awards, vendor names, or a formal vote during the work session; commissioners described the procurement items as moving forward on the agenda.
