Kingsbury County OKs purchase of one portable AED after grant likely denied
Summary
Auditor Echo Steffensen told commissioners she had not received notice on an AED grant and interpreted that as a denial. The board approved buying one portable AED for the Highway Department for up to $2,000 from the Commissioner Wellness budget.
Auditor Echo Steffensen informed the board she had not received a response on an AED grant application and "took that as we were not awarded the grant," prompting commissioners to purchase one unit now and plan for up to two more in 2027.
Emergency Manager Kristen Longville joined the discussion to provide pricing context, and the board voted to buy a portable AED for the Highway Department at an amount up to $2,000 from the Commissioner Wellness budget (motion Spilde, second Nelson). The motion carried unanimously. The minutes record the funding source as the Commissioner Wellness budget; no vendor or delivery date is listed in the excerpt.
