The Henry County Board of Commissioners voted at its Oct. 5 regular meeting to approve a $186,159.06 expenditure for the purchase of seven cardiac monitors along with supporting cardiac resuscitation supplies to be used by Henry County Fire Department personnel. The current equipment has surpassed its standard life expectancy, according to county staff. In other business, the board approved a confidentiality and non-disclosure agreement with Georgia Power so that the county can obtain information needed to identify and provide relief assistance for citizens who have been impacted by COVID-19 and are in arrears in utility bill payments.
