The board also endorsed a long-term ambulance replacement plan proposing scheduled purchases and remounts to address extended lead times and rising costs, with plans to incorporate funding into future budgets. Additionally, a budget amendment was approved to transfer $963,881 from the general fund to the airport capital project fund to cover grant match obligations and prior project deficits. A lease renewal for Goodwill Industries at the Elkin Center was discussed but deferred for further research.
