Summary

The Columbia County Public Safety Committee approved a financial resolution amending the fire department budget after selling scrap to help pay for replacement wrecked vehicles used in a training course.

The Columbia County Public Safety Committee voted to amend the fire department's budget to fund replacement wrecked vehicles for a training course. Chair introduced the item on June 16, saying the department "sold some scrap to help pay for the next round of wrecked vehicles for our expectation course upon," and members approved the resolution by voice vote.

The amendment came as part of the committee's routine monthly fire report. No dollar amounts or vendor names were provided during the discussion; the chair said the sale of scrap materials would offset the purchase. The motion was moved and seconded and passed on a recorded voice "Aye." Committee members did not request further detail at the meeting and no follow-up date for reporting specific costs was set.
