Kennedale council approves consent agenda, selects mayor pro tem and greenlights FEMA grant applications
Summary
At its June 16 meeting Kennedale City Council approved the consent agenda, passed a resolution to publish a notice of intention for up to $5 million in certificates of obligation, reappointed Kenneth as mayor pro tem, and unanimously authorized two FEMA grant applications for fire department equipment and prevention programs.
The Kennedale City Council handled several routine and grant items during its June 16 meeting.
The consent agenda was approved by voice vote. Later, the council unanimously approved a resolution authorizing publication of a notice of intention to issue up to $5,000,000 in certificates of obligation (resolution 6-47), a procedural step that begins the statutory public-notice period but does not commit the city to a sale. The clerk announced the motion passed 5–0.
The council reappointed Kenneth (last name not recorded in the transcript) as mayor pro tem; the motion passed unanimously.
Fire Chief (speaker 14) requested permission to apply for federal grant funding. The council approved submission of an Assistance to Firefighters Grant request (up to $400,000) for apparatus, AEDs, radios and protective gear (resolution 6-48) and a separate Fire Prevention and Safety grant application for public-education and investigative equipment (resolution 6-49). Both grant actions passed with no dissent recorded.
No final bond sale or large capital expenditure was authorized at the meeting; the notice of intention begins a publication window and requires council action later before any debt is sold.
