The Plymouth Board of Public Works and Safety members considered several department head requests to seek quotes for equipment and grants.
Utility Superintendent Donnie Davidson is seeking quotes for the replacement of a service truck for the water department. He also asked to get quotes for a one-ton dump truck for the wastewater department. Both vehicle purchases are included in the department’s budget for capital improvement projects.
Police Chief David Bacon asked the board members for permission for K9 officer John Weir to seek a grant through Marshall County REMC put money in the K9 fund.
In addition, Fire Chief Rod Miller asked to hire Chad Kenny as a paramedic to the open position on the ambulance staff. He is expected to start April 1.
All requests were unanimously approved by the board members.
