Emergency Conex arrives; committee plans radio training and shelving for grant compliance
Summary
The committee reviewed a newly acquired Conex for emergency supplies, discussed using grant funds (a $2,500 grant tied to $5,000 spend threshold), and scheduled radio demonstrations and charging/solar options for units at the cemetery and remote sites.
The committee discussed a newly procured Conex (shipping container) intended to store emergency supplies. The chair explained a grant condition requiring at least $5,000 in upgrades or supplies to secure a $2,500 grant tied to the Conex purchase; the chair said they will order lumber for shelving and store goods in the Conex until interior work is done.
Committee members also planned a January session for radio demonstrations led by James Sanders so committee members can practice operating the radios and draft written protocols. The group discussed power availability at remote sites, noting that the cemetery unit currently lacks power and committee members will investigate solar or battery systems to keep radios charged.
