Ambulance District votes to buy second ambulance for $297,000
Summary
At an Ambulance District meeting recessed from the county session, directors voted to purchase a second new ambulance for $297,000, declined to lease, and asked staff to verify title records and explore selling older units; vendor White Cloud extended a handheld-radio estimate by 30 days.
During the Ambulance District meeting held within the county session, Director John Kepler presented options to lease or purchase a second new ambulance. After discussion, the district declined to lease and Commissioner Vern Eames moved to purchase the ambulance for $297,000; Commissioner Ronald Buhler seconded and the motion carried.
Commissioners asked Kepler to check the title with the Idaho Transportation Department for the first ambulance so grant funds can be dispersed, and to investigate selling older ambulances currently in inventory. Kepler also reported that vendor White Cloud agreed to extend the handheld-radio estimate by 30 days; the new radios were described as backups or for new hires.
