Council approves grant application for Lennox Ambulance Service to fund strategic planning
Summary
The council approved a grant application prepared with Sage Project Consultants to fund strategic planning and organizational-capacity work for the Lennox Ambulance Service; the application lists a total request of $12,009.64 with portions intended for consultant fees and a reimbursement line item.
The Mayor and council approved a grant application to support strategic planning and organizational-capacity work for the Lennox Ambulance Service.
Unidentified Speaker 1 explained the draft application came from Sage Project Consultants, which is conducting similar projects in the region. "This would be for a strategic plan for 1 x annual service, looking at organizational capacity," Unidentified Speaker 1 said, noting the application included requests for equipment and lighting in earlier grant rounds.
Unidentified Speaker 3 asked whether the grant request — identified in the draft as $12,009.64 — would reimburse the city for staff planning time or pay outside consultants. The council clarified that the $4,800 line referenced in discussion was intended to reimburse the city (described in the transcript as reimbursing the ambulance service) and that Sage Project Consultants would be paid for strategic-planning work. Unidentified Speaker 3 said he did not want the recreation manager to do the work on his own time.
After the discussion, a motion to approve the grant application was made and seconded; council members present responded "aye," and the motion carried. The transcript records the applicant as the Lenox Ambulance Service; spelling in the record was normalized to "Lennox Ambulance Service" for consistency with local naming. The grant funder and final award status were not recorded in the meeting minutes.
