Rock County moves to apply for Department of Interior skid-tank grant; Forestry Service waiver may be needed
Summary
NCDC Director Kristin Olson and Deputy Emergency Manager Jessica Pozehl briefed the board on a Department of Interior grant to buy skid tanks; the tanks must be dedicated to a vehicle VIN and a Forestry Service waiver may be required. The board moved to have Rock County apply on behalf of all county fire departments; the minutes do not record a vote.
Kristin Olson, identified in the minutes as NCDC Director, and Jessica Pozehl, Deputy Emergency Manager, told the Rock County Board of Commissioners about a Department of Interior grant to purchase skid tanks for county fire departments.
Olson said the skid tanks purchased with the grant money must be dedicated to a vehicle VIN; she noted most rural trucks are owned by the Forestry Service. Because of that ownership arrangement, Olson said a waiver from the Forestry Service will likely be required before a county firewall or other truck can be fitted with a grant-funded tank.
Chairman Wade Hollenbeck moved, and Commissioner Faye Smith seconded, that Rock County be the applicant for the Department of Interior grant on behalf of all Rock County fire departments. The meeting minutes record the motion but do not include a roll-call vote or outcome for the motion in the transcript segments provided.
Next steps in the minutes are not detailed: the board’s motion, if approved, would require county staff to complete the grant application and to coordinate any necessary waivers with the Forestry Service before assigning tanks to specific vehicles.
