Board members explored options for funding protective vests for ambulance personnel, including line-item transfers, stipend funds and potential opioid-prevention grants. S6 said he had searched available grants without success and recalled a prior Texas grant application that produced no response; when asked, S6 said the vendor quote was valid for about 30 days.
Chair (S1) volunteered to contact Myra, who oversees opioid funds, to determine whether prevention grant guidelines might allow support for the equipment. The discussion ended with a commissioner moving to use stipend funds, and the chair directing staff to proceed.
