Ambulance year-end numbers and courthouse water-main repair reported to commissioners
Summary
Department heads told the commission ambulance calls were down three from last December and described a quick repair to a 6-inch coupler at a courthouse water-main break; staff said preventive maintenance was performed while crews were in the trench.
S6, a county public-safety presenter, reported that the year ended with 370 calls, a new record, and said the county had been "lucky" with weather. He told commissioners that a proposed new ambulance delivery is rescheduled for September and that a $5,000 grant will be used to replace tactical vests in ambulances.
S12 reported a water-main break on the south side of the courthouse caused by a failed 6-inch coupler; crews repaired it quickly and performed maintenance on an adjacent 4-inch line while in the trench. "That was what broke," S9 said, summarizing the failure; staff said the bill for the repair is already in. No further action was taken at the meeting beyond noting the repair and upcoming vehicle schedule.
The reports were informational; no formal actions followed beyond usual accounting for the bills.
