From the meeting
At its August 6, 2026 meeting, the board received a proposal to purchase and implement an Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS) program for emergency operations, disaster response, public safety missions, and community preparedness. The proposal named the DJI Matrice 4TD as the recommended drone and described add-ons such as thermal imaging, a public address/loudspeaker attachment, a searchlight attachment, batteries, charging equipment, a carrying case, and a portable monitor. Training would use Pilot Institute online coursework, with FAA Part 107 certification already held by Chief Dundon, Captain Maybee, and FF M.
Fitzgerald. The item was discussed and no purchase was approved in these minutes.

A pre-RFP is an early indicator that a government agency is planning a purchase — a project discussed in a board meeting, a budget line item, a new hire, or a grant award — captured before a formal RFP or bid is published. Acting on pre-RFPs gives SLED and B2G vendors months of lead time to build relationships and shape requirements.
