Board rejects lease contract with Sheldon Volunteer Fire Company for EMS staging
Summary
A proposed three-year lease of garage/storage space to Sheldon Volunteer Fire Company for Countywide Ambulance staging (total $28,800) failed after a recorded vote (Ayes: 15; Noes: 20; numerous absences/abstentions), leaving EMS staging unresolved.
Supervisors voted on a proposed lease agreement with the Sheldon Volunteer Fire Company for EMS garage and storage space to be used for Countywide Ambulance staging (Resolution No. NC#32 / 26-331). The proposed three-year lease would have cost $800 per month ($9,600 annually; $28,800 total). The motion failed on a recorded vote: Ayes 15, Noes 20; a significant number of supervisors were absent or recorded as abstentions in the minutes.
The failing vote leaves the Countywide Ambulance staging location unresolved in this meeting; the minutes record Supervisor Kehl (T/Attica) spoke in opposition prior to the vote. The failure was recorded in the minutes as: "FAILED: XXX Ayes: 15 (Castile) Noes: 20 (Attica) Absent: 22 (Arcade) Abstain: ..." indicating a contested procurement decision that will require further action by the Public Safety Committee or administration.
