Elwood volunteer fire department requests county help to buy $425,000 truck; board takes no action
Summary
Craig Ward of the Elwood Volunteer Fire Department asked the Gosper County Board on April 29 to consider assistance for a $425,000 fire truck; the board discussed the possible use of Keno funds but determined other county funds were not appropriate and recorded no action.
Craig Ward, representing the Elwood Volunteer Fire Department, appeared before the Gosper County Board of Commissioners April 29 to ask whether county funds could assist in purchasing a new fire truck valued at $425,000.
The board discussed the request and considered whether Keno funds might be used. Members noted that the Gosper County Rural Fire Board has its own taxing authority, and county officials indicated other county funds were not considered appropriate to fund the purchase. The minutes record that no action was taken on the request.
The exchange is recorded in the minutes as a request and discussion only; there was no motion to allocate county funds and no vote. The board proceeded to other agenda items, and no follow-up motion regarding the fire truck appears in the April 29 minutes.
