Council briefed on $20,000 Homeland Security grant to replace three rescue boats
Summary
Council staff said the city will accept $20,000 in grant revenue from the Oklahoma Department of Homeland Security to replace three rescue boats damaged while deployed to a hurricane response; staff described the appropriation as a reimbursement.
City staff told the council the administration will seek a supplemental appropriation of $20,000 in grant revenue from the Oklahoma Department of Homeland Security to replace three rescue boats for Tulsa Urban Search and Rescue that were damaged while deployed to a hurricane response.
A staff speaker described the funds as reimbursement for three boats that were damaged and left during deployment to a hurricane in North Carolina, saying the appropriation would allow the city to renew and replace the damaged equipment. A councilor asked a clarifying question about the price and presentation; staff noted the caption on the agenda language that the boats would be acquired under the Homeland Security subfund.
No formal vote was recorded on July 23; the item was presented as an ordinance amendment to recognize grant revenues and appropriate them for replacement equipment.
