Authority approves donation of retired ambulance to Tullahoma Police Department for SWAT use
Summary
The Coffee County Ambulance Authority voted to give a retired ambulance to the Tullahoma Police Department for S.W.A.T. operations after a motion by board member Frank Watkins; the motion was seconded by Dr. Jay Trussler and carried.
Tullahoma Police Department contacted the Coffee County Ambulance Authority about acquiring a retired ambulance for use by its S.W.A.T. team. Frank Watkins, a member of the authority, moved to transfer the vehicle and Dr. Jay Trussler seconded; the board approved the donation during the May 21 meeting.
The minutes state the police department contacted Michael Bonner about the retired ambulance; no sale or financial consideration was recorded. The motion passed on a voice vote (the minutes record the motion as "Motion passed" without a roll-call tally). The authority did not specify vehicle details, transfer conditions, or timetable beyond approving the donation.
The board handled the transfer as a single-item new business motion during the meeting; staff will need to manage the physical transfer and any interdepartmental paperwork.
