Board declares a highway truck surplus and approves purchase of AED units
Summary
The board declared a 2016 lift truck surplus and approved purchasing four automated external defibrillators (AEDs) for public facilities after discussing leasing vs. purchase, warranty coverage and placement for sports and public events.
During board business the Town of Alexandria approved two administrative items: declaring a 2016 lift truck surplus and purchasing AEDs for public locations. A motion to declare the vehicle surplus was made and carried by voice vote.
Members then discussed AED options and costs, including a warranty and a leasing option. One participant noted a three-year lease costing about $110 per month with maintenance, while a purchase option listed an eight-year warranty. After discussion, a motion to buy four AEDs passed by voice vote. Board members said they will manage deployment and training for public events and facilities.
