The Board unanimously approved Resolution 60-25 on Nov. 20, authorizing the Fairview Fire Department to participate in the James L. Richardson driver training matching grant program.

City manager Tom Doherty described the grant as a small supplement (about $200) that helps pay for verification services required for public-safety driver licensure and record checks. The program is provided through the city's insurance carrier and has been used in previous years.

Commissioner Buffalini moved approval, the motion was seconded, and Miss Jones called the roll. Vice Mayor McDonald, Commissioners Roberts, Hall and Buffalini and Mayor Anderson voted "aye"; the resolution passed 5-0.

No additional conditions were attached. The grant will be administered by city staff in coordination with the fire department.
