Suamico approves resolution to seek interoperable radio grant and commits local match
Summary
The Village Board approved Resolution 25025 to apply for an interoperable radio grant for the fire department and to commit the local match (presented as 20%). The chief said the village previously received the grant and hopes to purchase five radios if awarded.
Fire Chief Burtler told trustees the village previously applied for and received interoperable radio grant funding and that the region is again eligible. The chief said the department plans to request funding for five radios and needs a resolution committing the local match as part of the grant application process.
Chief Burtler said vendor pricing can vary and noted the village budgets about $39,000 annually in capital for radios; last year the village pursued five radios to take advantage of grant and vendor pricing. He asked the board to approve a resolution to support reapplying for the grant and to commit the local matching funds (presented during the meeting as 20%).
Trustee Romas moved and Trustee McKeefree seconded the resolution; roll call votes were recorded as ayes and the motion carried 6–0. The board authorized the clerk/finance staff to proceed with the grant application subject to final match amounts and vendor quotes.
