Council tables rescue vehicle purchase to Aug. 17 for more information
Summary
Council voted to table consideration of a rescue vehicle purchase for the fire department until the Aug. 17 meeting so the council member with concerns can participate; motion to table passed 6-0.
Council tabled Item C, a proposed purchase of a rescue vehicle for the fire department, until the next meeting on August 17 so that the council member who had raised concerns (Mr. Welch) could be present. The mayor said the item had been tabled previously and the council voted to table again.
The motion to table was made by Mr. Pickens and seconded by Mr. Gould; the motion passed with council members voting 6-0, with Councilman Lindley recording a remote affirmative vote.
Why it matters: A rescue vehicle purchase is a capital and operational decision for public safety; the council chose to delay final action until the member with concerns can participate in the discussion.
