Summary
City staff said the fire department applied for and was offered a no‑match grant of about $56,000 for equipment and training; the board voted to accept the grant and thanked staff and the chief for pursuing grants.
The Pulaski Board of Mayor and Aldermen voted to accept a no‑match volunteer fire equipment and training grant the fire department applied for, with staff stating the award amounts to roughly $56,000.
During the agenda item, staff noted the grant requires no local match and that the fire department chief had worked to secure the funds. A board member remarked that staff must continue applying for grants to obtain resources the city otherwise could not afford; another speaker thanked the chief for being active in grant pursuit.
The board moved to accept the grant, seconded the motion and then recorded a roll-call vote, with members responding 'Aye' as recorded in the transcript. Staff will proceed to accept and process the grant funds per usual municipal procedures.
