Fire commission approves four resolutions to accept grants and donate ambulance
Summary
The commission approved four separate resolutions to accept FEMA and state grant funds for marine equipment ($341,625), rescue tools ($612,129.09), a $1,000,000 state allocation for a host tender, and to donate a retired ambulance to City College’s EMS academy; all motions passed by voice vote.
The Fire Commission considered and voted separately on four resolutions. Director Mark Corso presented each request and answered commissioners' questions about matching funds and procurement procedures.
