County accepts ballistic‑protection donation for fire departments and approves employee wellness screenings
Summary
Commissioners accepted a donation of ballistic protection equipment (approx. $75,000) for local fire departments and approved Catapult Health on-site wellness screenings for employees on April 4, 2025, as a covered wellness benefit.
Emergency Management staff explained that a metro department was surplus‑donating ballistic protection equipment to be distributed to Parker County fire departments; the donation’s approximate value was reported as $75,000. The court approved acceptance and discussed inventorying and surplus/transfer procedures to record the items before distribution.
Separately, the court approved a wellness-screening contract with Catapult Health (a Blue Cross Blue Shield division) to provide on-site screenings for employees and covered spouses on April 4; staff said the service qualifies for the county wellness benefit and is fully covered for employees.
