Summary
The council accepted an Assistance to Firefighters grant of about $220,000 to fund training (travel, education, overtime) and approved a general fund budget revision; staff will provide a brief program breakdown at a future public safety meeting, and a small district transfer of about $868 for Councilor Howard was also authorized.
Finance staff told the council the city was awarded an Assistance to Firefighters grant of approximately $220,000 to support firefighter training activities, including travel, education and overtime. The grant agreement has been signed and the council approved a General Fund budget revision to recognize the income and assign the funds to training line items.
Staff also noted a separate action to activate about $868 from Councilor Howard’s saved district funds for the current year; Councilor Howard thanked staff and the council approved both measures by voice vote. Council members requested a short follow-up briefing from the fire chief on training details at a future public safety meeting.
The council approved the revision and directed staff to include the grant and any program breakdown in upcoming public safety committee briefings.
