Two bids were obtained; the winning proposal was about half the cost of the other and is on a state contract. It covers living, administrative and operational areas, delivery and placement, and some items with the Frankfort Fire and EMS logo.
Paid from Station 1 insurance premium tax; no impact on the department's operating budget.
Consent calendar moved by Commissioner Unger, seconded by Commissioner Smith-Willis; all five members present voted yes (Commissioners Richardson, Unger, May, Smith-Willis and Mayor Wilkerson), none against.
