Anderson City’s Board of Public Safety on July 13 approved $2,032,350.20 in claims and payroll and accepted a new ambulance delivery for the fire department.
Chair moved to accept the minutes and later moved to pay claims totaling $2,032,350.20; the board voted to approve the payment. The chair noted that accounts for the Anderson Police Department totaled $77,870.53.
Fire Chief (the Fire Chief) told the board, “We took a delivery of a new ambulance,” and said the department traded in a vehicle valued at about $378,000 as part of the transaction. The chair recorded the fire-department claims as $528,322.67 and the board approved the stated amount.
The board also approved payroll disbursements of $1,426,157.
On personnel matters, the Fire Chief asked the board to certify eligibility lists and candidate rankings under Indiana Code 36-8-3.5-12; he said the department made conditional offers to two candidates from the merit list and requested board signatures to certify the list order. The board moved, seconded and approved the hires "under Indiana code 36 dash 8 dash 3.5 dash 12," as recorded.
The chief also presented a uniform conflict-of-interest disclosure from firefighter Michael McIntyre describing occasional yard work (mowing and spraying); the board moved to accept the disclosure and the motion carried.
What happens next: staff will publish the bid-opening notice for the Anderson Fire Department Work Performance Building (scheduled for Aug. 10 at 4 p.m.), maintain certifications for the recent hires as required by statute, and file the conflict disclosure in department records.
