Committee green-lights permission-to-apply for heavy rescue funds and extends A‑EMT position
Summary
Public Safety Committee recorded permission to apply for up to $1,000,000 in FY27 congressional directed funds (two requests) to replace aging heavy-rescue trailers and approved extension of a 0.5 A‑EMT position set to sunset March 27, 2026; Arcade EMS lease negotiations remain under review by the Village of Arcade.
The committee recorded permission to apply for two FY27 Congressional directed fund requests (one to Congresswoman Tenney, one to Senator Schumer), each in an amount not to exceed $1,000,000, intended to purchase a new or used heavy rescue to combine more than 20‑year‑old trailers into a single unit for the county ERT. The minutes list these as permissions to apply; no vote tallies are recorded for these items.
Separately, the committee discussed a draft lease for Arcade EMS (agreement under village review) and approved permission to extend position 53.709, a 0.5 A‑EMT position that was set to sunset March 27, 2026; Committee member Roche moved the extension and the motion was recorded as carried (Ayes:7). The minutes note that, to date, all candidates considered for the position have been at EMT level.
