Early council backs Sac County ambulance locations and approves equipment purchase

At its Sept. 7, 2021 meeting the Early City Council unanimously adopted two resolutions: one supporting Sac County Ambulance satellite locations and one authorizing an equipment purchase and a transfer of funds.

Councilor Brian Pickhinke offered Resolution 21-18 supporting Sac County Ambulance and satellite locations in Odebolt, Lakeview and Schaller; Councilor Steven Mason seconded. The council voted aye on a roll-call vote and Mayor Sharon Ann Irwin declared the resolution adopted.

Councilor Steven Mason offered Resolution 21-19 to authorize purchase of a 1994 Komatsu end loader with attachments and to permit use of general-fund dollars plus a transfer from the equipment replacement fund to the general fund to cover the purchase; Councilor Bill Cougill seconded. The council voted unanimously to adopt the resolution and the mayor declared it duly adopted.

Both resolutions were recorded by roll-call votes in the minutes. The records do not list the purchase price for the Komatsu or a delivery/timing schedule; the minutes show only authorization to purchase and the funding approach.
