This special call meeting of the City of Deer Park Fire Control Meeting. Do we have anyone signed up to speak?

0:40 – 1:00•Speaker 4

We do not. In that case, we have one new order of business. That is consideration of an action on recommendation to city council for the approval of the purchase of bunker gear via by-board contract number 798-26. Can the chair get a motion?

1:00 – 1:11•Speaker 3

I'll make a motion. We approve $53,850 to make the purchase from Metro Fire via by-board contract number 798-26.

1:13•Speaker 3

Can you repeat that dollar amount? $53,850.

1:16•Speaker 1

I'm assuming that hasn't changed, Bubba.

1:23•Speaker 3

That's right. $53,850 is what I have in them. Oh, here we go. Oh, so it's got $53,550.

1:32•Speaker 3

I second the motion.

1:33•Speaker 2

That might have just been a typo on the agenda side.

1:37•Speaker 3

OK. So is it $850 or $550?

1:40•Speaker 2

The motion is for $850. $550. OK.

1:43 – 2:15•Speaker 4

Then I amend it to say 53,000 550 53,000 550 We have a motion by mr. Reynolds to approve The purchase recommend and recommendation to City Council to approve the purchase of bunker gear via by board contract number seven nine eight dash two six for fifty three thousand five hundred fifty dollars we have a second by mr. Archer and Is there any discussion on the matter?

2:16 – 2:44•Speaker 2

I don't think there's anything special about this. The reason it needed to be in a special meeting is because I didn't receive the quote in time to bring it to you at the last meeting, and y'all only meet quarterly. And so it was in the current fiscal year budgeted funds, which ends in September, and y'all don't meet again until October. So it would have resulted in budget amendments if we waited until y'all's next regularly scheduled meeting to make this purchase. So that was the reason for the request, and thank y'all for taking the time to meet today.

2:45 – 3:12•Speaker 4

aligns with my understanding. Is there any any further questions or discussion? So we have a motion to recommend to City Council the approval of the purchase of bunker gear via by-board contract number 798-26 in the amount of $53,550. All in favor signify by saying aye. All opposed say nay. Hearing none the ayes have it. This meeting is adjourned.

3:13•Speaker 2

Thank you all very much.

3:14•Speaker 4

Thanks for all your input, Bob.
