Board approves battery purchase for tower sites; wheelchair lift bids received none
Summary
The board approved a quote for replacement batteries on county tower sites using Act 13 funds and decided to negotiate privately after receiving no bids for a recreation center wheelchair lift rebid.
At its regular meeting, the Cameron County Board of Commissioners approved a procurement to replace 12‑volt batteries at county tower sites using Act 13 funds.
The treasurer presented a quoted amount listed in the meeting file as "$1,33328" for Power Sonic 12‑volt SLA batteries and explained the vendor waived labor fees for an additional site. Commissioners moved to approve the quote, a motion was seconded and the chair called for a voice vote; the motion was approved with no roll call recorded in the transcript. The transcript shows the motion and second but does not record the names of the mover or seconder.
On a separate procurement item, the board said it received no bids for the wheelchair lift for the recreation center. Commissioners agreed the county will negotiate privately for that project rather than rebid at this time.
The treasurer also reported that August expense details will be presented at the Sept. 18 meeting and that FEMA public assistance paperwork related to recovery is complete; invoices have been posted and the county expects FEMA funding to be available in roughly 60 days.
The meeting concluded after brief remarks about improving the county's meeting streaming and praise for local media. A motion and second to adjourn were made and the chair closed the meeting.
