Garfield County commissioners approve generators for ERC and Transit buildings
Summary
The Garfield County Board of Commissioners voted April 15 to buy backup generators for the Emergency Response Center (ERC) and the Transit Building after public comment raised concerns about building resilience; the minutes do not list cost or vendor details.
The Garfield County Board of Commissioners voted April 15 to purchase backup generators for the county’s Emergency Response Center (ERC) and for the Transit Building. Commissioner Jerry Collins made the motion and Vice‑Chair Carla McWilliams seconded; the board voted "all in favor," and the motion passed.
During the public‑comment period, Annette Thomas urged the county to address maintenance and groundskeeping at the Senior Center and Transit Building and raised the need for a generator at the Transit Building. The board later moved on that public request with the formal motion to buy generators for both buildings.
The minutes record the passage of the motion but do not specify the purchase price, vendor, funding source, or an implementation timeline. Charlie Saylor, the county clerk and recorder, is listed in the minutes as handling clerk duties; the record does not state which office will execute the purchases.
The meeting adjourned at 5:00 p.m.; the minutes show no additional follow‑up directives or contract approvals tied to the generator purchase. The next regular meeting is scheduled for April 22, 2026.
