Morton County EMS weighing Lifepak 15 offer from Stryker; grant option recommended
Summary
EMS reported that Lifepak 15 monitors are being phased out. Stryker offered a three-year, 0% interest promotion listed at $57,000 with annual payments cited as $17,985; commissioners suggested applying for the KRAFT grant instead of taking the promotion now.
Stephanie, speaking for Morton County EMS, told commissioners the department’s Lifepak 15 monitors are being phased out and that Stryker is offering a three-year contract at 0% interest with a listed total cost of $57,000. The transcript records annual payments noted as $17,985 and an initial payment due immediately; Stephanie said that Stryker’s promotion is valid through the month of June.
Commissioners recommended exploring the KRAFT grant as an alternative funding source and checking with the vendor about the promotion terms. The clerk and commissioners discussed that applying for grant funding later in the year may be beneficial rather than committing to the promotion now.
