Committee clears surplus training gear and accepts $2,700 in donations
Summary
The committee approved declaring obsolete training equipment surplus (generating a $7,225 credit toward new gear) and accepted two donations totaling $2,700 from local donors for communication equipment.
The committee approved a surplus list for obsolete training equipment — including riot helmets and training pistols — that staff said would be sold to a vendor and generate a $7,225 credit toward replacement equipment.
Committee members also approved accepting two donations, identified in the record as coming from Buckeye and Fleming Homes, totaling $2,700 to support communications equipment. The chief said donation receipts and the intended equipment line were noted in the departmental budget lines.
Members briefly discussed a specialty vehicle and related federal funding; staff said the vehicle is built outside the U.S. and that they are waiting on federal funding to be released and cannot provide a firm timeline.
The surplus declaration and donation acceptance were approved by voice vote and will allow staff to apply the vendor credit toward new training equipment purchases and to add the donated funds to the communications equipment line.
