The commissioners approved the $1.275 million acquisition of a custom aerial as well as $799,383 for three custom ambulance boxes, $68,057 for a 2023 Dodge 4500 ambulance prep chassis and $68,920 for two 2023 Chevy Express vans.

Funding is through the county’s capital improvement plan and American Rescue Plan Act funds.
