EMS seeks trailer for gator, orders uniforms and reports paging issue
Summary
Keith Wangerin told commissioners EMS ordered new uniforms, received a verbal trailer quote of $2,650 from NAPA to haul a gator, asked to use a county car for a funeral procession, and reported Minneapolis EMS picked up a cot. He also said Smith County EMS was not paged for a Friday call.
Keith Wangerin briefed the board on Smith County EMS operations and equipment needs. He asked the commissioners for permission to purchase a trailer to haul the agency's gator and said he received a verbal quote of $2,650.00 from Chris Cole at NAPA. The commissioners indicated they were in favor of the purchase during the meeting.
Wangerin also reported multiple calls over the weekend, that he had ordered uniforms for the department, and that Minneapolis EMS had removed a cot last week. He requested permission to use a county car to attend a funeral procession; the commissioners encouraged him to participate. Separately, Wangerin said EMS was not paged for a call that occurred last Friday; the minutes do not record a cause or a corrective action plan.
The minutes record the quoted purchase amount and commissioners' informal support for the trailer purchase but do not show a formal procurement approval or funding source for the acquisition.
