Ripley board approves submission of CDBG application to request a fire truck
Summary
Board members approved submitting a FY2026 Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) application seeking funds to buy a fire truck; the chief confirmed the request and members noted CDBG does not cover asphalt repaving.
The Ripley Board of Aldermen approved a request to submit a FY2026 Community Development Block Grant application to try to fund a fire truck.
A member asked, "Is that you, chief?" and the chief replied, "Yes, sir. I believe so," confirming the application is for a fire truck. Members noted the grant program does not allow funding for asphalt repaving, an item the city still expects it will need to address by other means.
The board treated the item as a submission only; a motion to approve submitting the application was made and seconded, and the measure was adopted by voice vote. No financial commitment was recorded at this meeting; the action was limited to authorizing the application filing.
