Board reviews tire replacement and a $19,000 gear allocation plan
Summary
Commissioners discussed capital needs: scheduled tire replacement for the ladder and tanker and a plan by Commissioner Hodges to allocate $19,000 for gear after a $16,000 threshold is spent; the minutes include numerical figures that appear inconsistent and merit verification.
Commissioners reviewed capital and operating budget items for vehicle maintenance and gear. The minutes record that the ladder and tanker are scheduled for tire replacement this year and state the cost of 20 tires is $80 each.
The minutes say that "once $16,000 is spent, J. Hodges will split up the remaining $19,000 for gear between the departments." The recorded numbers in the minutes raise a question of quantitative precision: 20 tires at $80 each would total $1,600, not $16,000. The board discussed allocation of the remaining gear funds but the minutes do not provide further detail on exact gear purchases or department-by-department splits.
