RE: Emergency Purchase of Surgical Lights for the surgical room at Genesee County Animal Control
recommendation
BOARD ACTION REQUESTED:
Request an approval to purchase two new Surgical lights for the surgical room at Genesee County Animal control.
BACKGROUND:
Genesee County Animal Control needs to purchase two new surgical light to replace the four lights that we had installed during the renovation 4 years ago. These lights were bought from shoreline and the lights have started to fail this year. We had four lights and as they have failed, we have salvaged parts from non-working lights to keep two of them going. Shoreline is out of business and was taken over by Midmark. They do not have parts to replace these lights. We are only looking to replace two lights currently since the other surgical table is used for exams. The price of 8,556.00 is Equipment outreach that is two lights and shipping and handling. Wade Boogs company gave a $1,000 approx. estimate for installation This is the reason for the request of 10,000 to be taken from the fund balance of Genesee County animal control and placed in Equipment repair line 2130-430.00-931.000.
DISCUSSION:
Without the surgical lights Dr McCormick would not be able to conduct daily surgical procedures needed for Genesee County animals
IMPACT ON HUMAN RESOURCES:
None
IMPACT ON BUDGET:
Budget amendment is included in a separate request and is needed to move Ten Thousand dollars from fund balance to Equipment Repair line account 2130-430.00-931.000
IMPACT ON FACILITIES:
Without the surgical lights Dr McCormick would not be able to conduct daily surgical needs of Genesee County animals
IMPACT ON TECHNOLOGY:
