Summary

County staff told commissioners a previously accepted Firehouse Subs Public Safety Foundation grant to buy positive-pressure ventilation fans is ready for a memorandum of understanding/funding agreement to be executed; packet materials list approximately $17,000 associated with the item.

The Tift County Board of Commissioners workshop considered a memorandum of understanding and funding agreement to finalize a previously accepted grant from the Firehouse Subs Public Safety Foundation to purchase positive-pressure ventilation fans.

Staff said the board previously voted to accept the grant and that the paperwork for the grant includes an MOU that was not available at last month’s meeting. A department director told commissioners the MOU is now attached to the packet and recommended execution to wrap up the grant paperwork.

Commissioners briefly confirmed the figure associated with the item; several participants in the meeting cited the number "17,000" during the discussion as the grant amount in the packet. No formal motion text or recorded roll-call vote appears in the workshop transcript; the item was presented as part of the consent/regular-session items to be considered at the November 10 regular meeting.

The board did not take a separate recorded vote on the MOU during the workshop. Staff indicated the MOU would be handled administratively and brought forward for signature as part of regular session consent items.
