Paid for equipment the Township's budget already buys

Stryker purchase order 24-07617 bought a 6507 Power Pro 2 High Config stretcher order, with battery kit, battery charger and power cord lines, for 249,456.62, net of a 35,000.00 trade-in credit. It was charged to capital account C-04-55-243-000-022, EMS Purchase of Stretcher and Stair Chair, and paid by check 426551 on 01/21/2025. The settlement account bought the same 6507 Power Pro 2 High Config, with a battery charger and a power cord assembly of the same names, on purchase order 26-03878 for 35,360.19. The capital account was still paying Stryker in 2026. Check 435103 of 06/09/2026 paid 31,309.48 for an MTS Power Load from that account, on the same check that paid for the settlement-funded park defibrillators. Life Savers, Inc. sells the Township Defibtech Lifeline AED packages paid from its budget lines. The Police Safety Equipment line paid 5,398.22 on purchase order 23-04764, 5,638.25 on 25-07519 and 5,830.25 on 26-00047. The Recreation Program Supplies line paid 4,792.00 on 24-03767. Check 432643 of 01/20/2026 paid 26-00047 from the police line together with settlement purchase order 25-11370. The settlement account paid 3,192.00 for three Defibtech packages. Neither the Police Safety Equipment line nor the Ambulance Supplies line shows an amendment or a transfer in any year produced. The Ambulance Supplies appropriation was 90,000.00 in 2023, 2024 and 2025 and 80,000.00 in 2026, with no reason stated. The record shows the Township buys this equipment from its operating and capital budgets. That the settlement money took over costs those budgets carry is this project's inference from these records.
