Lake City Council approves resolution to seek matching grant for extrication tools and adds volunteer
Summary
Bryan Wells requested a matching grant to buy extrication tools for the Lake City Volunteer Fire Department; the council adopted Resolution 2025-2-17 to pursue the grant and voted to add Mason Nuckles to the department, both actions passing 6-0.
Bryan Wells, identified in the minutes as a member of the Lake City Volunteer Fire Department, addressed the council on Feb. 17, 2025 to request a matching grant to purchase extrication tools. After discussion, Councilmember Harmony Cash moved (seconded by Jason Garner) to have the city clerk read Resolution 2025-2-17 by title only. Councilmember Jay Davis moved (seconded by Jake Emery) to adopt Resolution 2025-2-17, listed in the minutes as "Fire Dept. Grant for Extrication Tools," and the council approved the resolution by a 6-0 vote.
Separately, the minutes record that the council received an application from Mason Nuckles for the Lake City Volunteer Fire Department earlier in the meeting and later moved to add him to the department; that appointment also passed 6-0 (motion by Brenda Hutcheson, seconded by Jay Davis). The minutes do not specify grant amounts, matching requirements, application deadlines, or whether the resolution commits city funds; those details are not included in the meeting record.
The council’s unanimous actions enable the volunteer department to pursue the matching grant and formalize at least one new volunteer appointment, according to the minutes. The record does not indicate further conditions, procurement steps, or timeline for tool acquisition.
