Hennessey Fire Department representative James Matousek recommended accepting the low bid of Cooper Creek.

Commissioners tabled action on two other bid openings, one for Cash-ion Fire Department and one for the Omega Fire Department.

Cashion Fire Department representatives requested that the highest bid for a 2019 tanker truck be accepted from Chief Fire and Safety of $384,630 because it best fit their needs, noting that some of the required items were omitted from other bids.
