The Board approved a grant‑funded ambulance purchase under Resolution 26‑64, with a grant cap of approximately $252,000 and a required local match of about $130,712 to be paid from the EMS billing fund. County staff said the procurement produced roughly $80,000 in savings versus other options and allowed delivery in three months instead of much longer lead times.
The county will outfit the ambulance with a Stryker power‑load system, a Lucas CPR device and a video laryngoscope among other items. Staff said the purchase represents a cost‑effective augmentation to EMS capacity; the board approved the appropriation by roll call.
