Heard County approves SPLOST purchases of ladder, rescue trucks and $21,901 HVAC for 4‑H gym
Summary
On May 22, 2014 the Heard County Board unanimously approved SPLOST purchases of a ladder truck ($12,362.50) and rescue truck ($11,250.00) acquired through other government agencies, and authorized a $21,901.65 HVAC installation for the Glover Road 4‑H gym with First Degree Heating and Air to provide electrical work.
Heard County commissioners on May 22, 2014 unanimously approved three capital items funded through SPLOST and a facilities upgrade for the 4‑H/Glover Road gymnasium.
The Board confirmed a SPLOST purchase of a ladder truck at a total cost of $12,362.50, purchased through another government agency in South Carolina, on a motion by Commissioner Sandi Allen with a second from Commissioner Larry Hooks. The Board also confirmed a SPLOST purchase of a rescue truck at a total cost of $11,250.00 purchased through a government agency in Tennessee (motion Hooks; second Allen). Both motions passed unanimously.
For the Glover Road 4‑H gymnasium, the Board approved First Degree Heating and Air’s higher quote of $21,901.65, which includes First Degree providing the electrical work and requires inspection of the installation and electrical work by Heard County Building Inspector Floyd Toney. Dinah Rowe, Heard County 4‑H/Extension Agent, told the Board the gym’s temperature is "unbearable" in summer months, preventing events and rentals; Commissioner Frank Crook moved to approve the quote and Commissioner Sandi Allen seconded.
The minutes record unanimous approval of all three items. The HVAC approval specifies county inspection of installation; no additional funding sources or project timelines were recorded in the meeting minutes.
