Henderson approves CDBG fire equipment purchases, adopts cooperative procurement resolutions
Summary
The board approved using remaining CDBG funds (with a ~15% city match) to buy additional fire equipment, and adopted resolutions authorizing purchases under Sourcewell and NASPO ValuePoint cooperative purchasing programs (Res. 2025-007, 2025-008).
Fire Chief Doug Acred told the board there are remaining Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds from the purchase of Engine #3 that the department will use to request additional equipment. Chief Acred said the city must provide a local match of roughly 15%, estimated at about $8,000.
Ald. Mark A. Barber moved to approve the purchase using the remaining CDBG funds; Ald. Donna R. Butler seconded and the motion carried. Recorder Jim E. Garland said CDBG requires formal resolutions authorizing the use of cooperative purchasing programs. By roll call the board adopted Resolution No. 2025-007 authorizing purchases under the Sourcewell Cooperative Purchasing Program (Ayes: Mark A. Barber, Donna R. Butler, Michael Phelps, Jason Rhodes, Keith Smith; Absent: Buel Maness).
The board subsequently approved a second resolution authorizing purchases under the NASPO ValuePoint cooperative purchasing program; the minutes record the roll call and adoption as Resolution No. 2025-008. The minutes do not specify exact equipment items, vendor names, or final prices for the additional purchases.
