Commissioners hear request to buy dive-team equipment, including a rechargeable unit, using SPLOST funds
Summary
Troup County fire-department representatives requested county dollars plus up to $10,000 from SPLOST to buy dive-team lighting, generators and a dive unit with an 8–10 hour rechargeable battery and a two-year warranty; commissioners heard specifications and noted the need but did not record a final purchasing vote in the transcript.
Fire-department staff told commissioners the newly formed dive team needs lighting, generators, work lights and a specific dive unit they had previously tested. The presenter asked for county funds and up to $10,000 from SPLOST to cover the purchase and related accessories; the unit described has an estimated 8 to 10 hours of battery life and a two-year battery warranty.
The presenter said the requested model is the same one previously demoed and used to locate a victim during recent operations. "The battery life on that, I think is like 8 to 10 hours...it's the rechargeable, and it's got a 2 year warranty on the battery itself," the fire-department representative said. Commissioners asked a few clarifying questions about specifications and the request will proceed through the county's purchasing process; no formal appropriation vote for this item appears in the transcript.
