Council declines to pursue SAFER grant after mixed council response
Summary
Assistant Fire Chief Chris Domingue requested permission to reapply for the SAFER grant on behalf of Chief Sonnier; Councilmen Boudreaux and Montoucet opposed applying and no motion was made, so the request died for lack of motion.
Assistant Fire Chief Chris Domingue asked the council, on behalf of Chief Sonnier, to reapply for the SAFER grant. Councilmen Boudreaux and Montoucet said the city should not apply for this round of funding. The item died for lack of motion and the council did not grant approval to apply.
Minutes do not record further reasoning, a vote tally, or an alternate motion to pursue a different funding strategy. The decision means the city will not submit an application for the SAFER grant during this council cycle unless a member brings the item back and the council votes to proceed.
