Swansea board approves $24,650 purchase of turnout gear to outfit seven firefighters
Summary
Trustees approved a $24,650 quote to buy seven sets of turnout gear to support the fire department’s recruitment and retention efforts; the resolution passed by roll call with all ayes.
The Village of Swansea Board of Trustees approved Resolution 1-2744 on June 15 accepting a $24,650 price quotation for seven complete sets of turnout gear (PPE) for the Swansea fire department.
A fire department representative told trustees the purchase was budgeted by department leadership and will allow the department to outfit seven additional personnel — two more than originally anticipated under the earlier budget estimate — to support recent recruitment and retention gains.
The board moved and seconded the resolution and approved it by roll call (all ayes recorded). No member requested to delay the purchase. The record indicates the mayor and clerk conducted the roll call during the vote.
The purchase is framed by department leaders as part of a continuing effort to recruit firefighters and ensure new hires have required protective equipment; the contractor named in the resolution was identified by address on the quotation.
The resolution will be executed by staff per procurement procedures and entered into the village’s purchasing records.
