Summary
The board approved resolution R2026-60 to fund an electrical-engineering assessment and remediation proposal ($19,600) for generator replacements and associated technical documentation at county EMS and volunteer fire sites, with possible FEMA grant support.
The Board of Supervisors approved a $19,600 electrical-engineering assessment and remediation proposal to evaluate and size replacement generators, transfer switches and related circuit work for multiple EMS and volunteer fire sites across the county.
Scope and purpose: Staff described the consultant deliverables: stamped as-built and construction drawings, load and short-circuit analyses, transfer-switch evaluations, conductor-sizing reviews with upsizing recommendations, load-shedding logic where needed, run-time analyses at multiple load levels, and documentation to support potential FEMA grant funding.
Board action: After a motion and second, the board conducted a roll-call vote and approved resolution R2026-60. The recorded roll call in the meeting minutes was: Mister Rutherford—Yes; Mister Vander Meade—Yes; Mister Reed—Yes; Mister Barr—Yes; Doctor [name called]—Yes.
Follow-up: Staff noted FEMA may eventually cover some costs; staff will proceed with the assessment and return with findings and recommendations for any required remediation or grant applications.
