Search & Rescue and EMS urge consideration of $185K Incident Command Van
Summary
Search & Rescue representative Sam Smolnisky and EMS Director Steve Esser asked the commission to consider acquiring an Incident Command Van estimated at $185,000 to improve communications and create a mobile command post for remote incidents; no funding decision was made and staff were asked to research grants and bids.
Sam Smolnisky of Search & Rescue presented a proposal for a Custer County Incident Command Van estimated at $185,000, saying the vehicle would provide cell reception, satellite internet and power options (battery and solar) to support remote incident command posts. EMS Director Steve Esser supported the concept and recommended further research and additional bids; Esser said he would investigate grant funding opportunities.
Commissioners acknowledged the potential benefit but did not commit county funds at the meeting, instead recommending staff seek multiple bids and possible grant sources before bringing a formal request back to the commission.
