Lismore fire department reports donated trailer and weighs radio purchase tied to ARMER grant
Summary
At the Dec. 9 meeting, the Lismore Fire Department reported receipt of a donated light trailer and discussed a single-vendor radio quote tied to an ARMER grant; the vendor pool has thinned and the department will decide on officer elections and name plates at the next FD meeting.
The Lismore Fire Department reported at the city council’s Dec. 9 meeting that it received a donated light trailer now stored at the shelter house for ready access.
Jim, speaking for the department, presented a vendor quote for new radios and explained grant constraints: buying six radios would leave unused ARMER grant funds, while buying seven would slightly exceed the grant award; under the grant’s reimbursement rules the department must spend the grant amount to be reimbursed. Jim said other vendors who previously sold radios are no longer in business, which limited the department to a single bid.
The minutes record that election of officers for the fire department will occur at the next FD meeting and that new name plates and badges will be ordered for newly appointed personnel. The council approved the fire department report by motion during the meeting.
The minutes do not include a bid document, vendor name, or a recorded dollar amount for the radio quote; the record notes only the procurement constraint tied to the ARMER grant.
