Commission approves federal grant purchases for three skid units to outfit existing trucks
Summary
Using a federal Office of Wildland Fire grant, the board approved final purchase of three skid units to be mounted on existing district trucks; the units are 0-match purchases and provide drafting capability for wildland response.
The board approved the final purchase and expenditure of federal grant funds to outfit three skid units on trucks the district already owns. Matt explained the grant came through the Office of Wildland Fire and that "we applied, approved and we received the grant. This is the final purchase for those," and that the skids will be fitted on existing vehicles.
Commissioners asked technical questions about capacity and drafting ability; Matt confirmed the larger skids provide type‑3 capacity and all the skids can draft water. He also said the grant requires no local match. After a motion and second, the Chair called the vote and declared the motion carried. The transcript does not include detailed roll-call vote tallies or the mover/second by name.
