Campbell County authorizes $1.4 million engine purchase using Fleet Reserve funds
Summary
The Board approved use of Fleet Reserve funds to purchase a fire engine for $1,400,000 for FY2025-2026 after a presentation by Fire Chief Jeff Bender at the April 9, 2026 special meeting.
The Campbell County Board of County Commissioners approved a measure allowing the Joint Powers Fire Board to use Fleet Reserve funds to purchase a fire engine in the amount of $1,400,000 for FY2025-2026. Jeff Bender, Fire Chief, presented the Campbell County Fire Department FY2026-2027 proposed budget and raised the engine-purchase request. Commissioner Jim Ford moved the approval and Commissioner Scott Clem seconded; all commissioners voted "Aye."
The purchase was authorized specifically as a use of Fleet Reserve funds for FY2025-2026. The transcript records the dollar amount and fiscal-year timing but does not provide purchase specifications, vendor information, or delivery schedule. The authorization clears the way for the Joint Powers Fire Board to proceed with procurement consistent with whatever purchasing procedures and approvals its governance requires.
