Mount Juliet commissioners voted to accept a grant from the Firehouse Subs Public Safety Foundation to purchase an R1-series rescue boat and a transport trailer for the Mount Juliet Fire Department.
The board amended the ordinance and the proposed budget allocation on the floor, moving the line item from the police budget to the fire budget before approving the grant acceptance on first reading. The change was made by motion and approved by voice vote.
The resolution was presented as ordinance amending the fiscal year 2024–25 budget to accept the Firehouse Subs Public Safety Foundation grant. Commissioners recorded ayes and the motion carried; no roll-call tally or grant amount was stated on the record.
The item appeared both on the regular business agenda (10a) and in the consent listing (11d). Commissioners discussed only the budget line allocation and did not provide additional fiscal detail at the time of the vote. The grant amount and any expected timeline for delivery or deployment of the boat were not specified in the meeting record.
The board did not attach additional conditions to the grant acceptance. Further administrative steps—contract execution and purchase—will be handled by staff under the budget ordinance amendment approved on first reading.
