Commission authorizes purchase of $339,702 ambulance contingent on grant funds
Summary
EMS Chief Chris McCann requested approval to buy a new ambulance totaling $339,702 (including about $60,000 in power‑load equipment). Commissioners approved the purchase contingent on receiving Emergency Preparedness Working Group (EPWG) funding and infrastructure tax contributions described in the staff report.
Chris McCann, Elko County EMS chief, asked the commission to approve the purchase of a new ambulance priced at $339,702 that includes roughly $60,000 of power‑load equipment.
"The total is the 339,702," Chris McCann said, noting that the purchase includes power‑load equipment that is often purchased separately. He said funding sources identified in the packet include EPWG funds (pending DEM approval) and infrastructure tax funds.
Because EPWG funding was awaiting final DEM approval, commissioners approved the purchase contingent on receipt of the specified funds. Commissioner made the motion to approve contingent on funding and the board voted to carry the motion.
