Montgomery County announces nearly $2 million state grant for rescue services
Summary
Council announced a public hearing and closure on a $1.98 million state 508 grant to Montgomery County Fire and Rescue Services for FY25; no public speakers were registered.
Montgomery County Council announced on July 15 that the council received a state 508 grant of almost $2,000,000 to Montgomery County Fire and Rescue Services and held a public hearing on Supplemental Appropriation No. 25-76 to the FY25 operating budget.
The council’s announcement said the funds are for the FY25 Senator Amos Fire Rescue and Ambulance Fund and that the source is a state grant. The hearing record shows there were no registered speakers for the item and the council closed the public hearing the same day.
The council clerk noted a public safety committee work session scheduled for July 21, 2025, for follow-up related to public-safety matters; the announcement asked anyone wishing to submit material for the council’s consideration to do so by the close of business the day of the hearing.
No formal council action on the appropriation was recorded in the hearing transcript; the hearing served as the public record before the council’s later consideration of budget amendments and appropriations.
Background: A “508” grant is the state aid line identified in the announcement; the council provided only the grant description and approximate amount during the session. There were no questions or public comments on the record about how the money would be spent.
