Committee approves vouchers; members question calendar, equipment and data-connection charges
Summary
The Health and Safety Committee approved vouchers after staff explained calendar orders funded partly by Church Mutual, an Ace Hardware equipment purchase to standardize tools on Engine 62, and a cellular data connection billed through an outside vendor for a device tied to the Oneida County Sheriff's Department.
The committee moved and approved vouchers by voice vote after department staff answered questions about several line items. A member questioned a $273 calendar charge; fire staff explained the department orders pocket schedules and paper calendars, and that some public-facing calendars are produced and funded by Church Mutual as a prevention outreach.
Members also asked about two hammer drill wrench kits charged at Ace Hardware; Chief Klug explained these purchases upgraded cordless tools on reserve Engine 62 to Milwaukee equipment to standardize batteries and interoperability. A separate voucher line described as "pool camera service" and showing Oneida County Sheriff's Department was clarified as the cellular/data connection bill for a device run through an outside vendor used for investigative purposes, a staff member said. The vouchers were approved following discussion.
