Kennard board backs resolution supporting new volunteer fire station
Summary
The Kennard Town Board adopted a nonbinding resolution (813-2025-O1) supporting pursuit of grants to build a new volunteer fire station; the resolution carries no town funding commitment and passed 2-0 with one member not voting.
The Kennard Town Board voted to adopt Resolution 813-2025-O1 on July 9, a formal statement of support for the volunteer fire department’s effort to pursue grants for a new fire station.
A board member described the resolution as a grant‑support statement needed by many funding programs; the resolution contains no appropriation and does not obligate town funds. The board moved and approved the resolution; the meeting record states the motion carried 2-0 and that one member (Holly) did not vote.
Board members said pursuing grants such as U.S. Department of Agriculture rural development and community development programs would influence station size and design; the resolution is intended to satisfy grant paperwork requirements and strengthen applications rather than to commit local matching dollars at this time.
Next steps: the signed resolution will be filed with grant applications as needed and the board will follow any grant-specific requirements if and when applications move forward.
