Impact analysis
About $830,000 in new borrowing, spread over the life of the note.
Fire and EMS crews — and everyone who calls 911 — get up-to-date life-saving equipment.
No groups are directly harmed; the main tradeoff is that the purchases use tax dollars that could go to other budget priorities.
