Council approves $31,425 replacement for firehouse alert system; one abstention
Summary
Council voted to spend $31,425 from the firehouse ad valorum tax account to replace an aging alert system; Council Member Mark Messmer abstained citing his role in the Fire Department.
Councilman Lycans presented a single-vendor quote from Mobilecom to replace the firehouse alert system and moved to fund the purchase from the firehouse ad valorum tax account. The quote was for $31,425; the motion (Lycans/Curry) passed with a 4–0 recorded vote and Council Member Mark Messmer registered an abstention due to his position at the Fire Department.
The minutes state the current alert system is old and not functioning; no additional vendor options were documented in the record. The purchase was authorized during the Public Buildings portion of the agenda and the funds identified for the purchase were an internal ad valorum tax account specific to the firehouse.
