Commission approves EMS ambulance purchase and $46,703 allocation for EMA pickup
Summary
The commission approved purchase of an ambulance acquired at a reduced rate and allocated $46,703 to buy an EMA pickup truck from available EMS funds; the purchase was presented as a cost-saving opportunity because another county could not complete payment.
Commissioner Bobby Katz told the commission the EMS department secured an ambulance that had been slated for another county at a reduced rate; the commission approved acquisition and allocated $46,703 toward an EMA pickup truck from available funds. Katz said the purchase used money already allocated in the county budget and provided an operational lift to EMS and EMA resources.
There were no substantive public objections during the hearing. The chair recorded the vote as passing on the motion and staff will complete procurement and vehicle assignment.
