Summary
City staff reported that the Firehouse Subs Public Safety Foundation awarded $8,440 to purchase two thermal-imaging cameras for Brentwood Fire Department; the grant requires formal acceptance by the commission.
City staff told the Board of Commissioners that the Firehouse Subs Public Safety Foundation has awarded Brentwood $8,440 to purchase two thermal-imaging cameras for the fire department.
During the briefing, the item was framed as a consent-agenda item that requests authorization to accept the grant if the commission approves. Staff said the fire department had already selected the specific cameras to buy with the grant funds.
The city manager commended the fire department for securing the funding and said staff prefers to include a formal acceptance authorization language that allows the mayor to sign acceptance documents. The grant award was described as completed by the foundation; formal municipal acceptance was presented as the remaining step.
Ending: Staff will place the acceptance on the consent agenda for the next regular meeting so the mayor can sign the acceptance and staff can proceed with purchasing the cameras.
