Summary
The council unanimously approved Resolution No. 2392 to apply for $200,000 in Congressional Direct Spending funds to buy self-contained breathing apparatus and a thermal imaging camera for the Hines Fire Department; the grant requires a 25% city match.
The Hines Common Council on Feb. 24 unanimously approved Resolution No. 2392 authorizing the City to apply for a Congressional Direct Spending Community-Initiated Project grant to purchase self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) and a thermal imaging camera for the Hines Fire Department.
City Administrator Roxane Worley read the resolution in full during the meeting. Councilor Kim Valentine asked about the grant amount; Worley said the request is for $200,000 and that the City would be required to cost-share 25 percent. Councilor Hilda Allison moved to approve Resolution No. 2392; Councilor Dean Brizendine seconded and the motion carried unanimously.
The resolution delegates authority to the mayor and the city administrator to sign the application. The council did not discuss specific procurement vendors or a timeline for equipment purchase at the meeting; Worley forwarded the matter to legal counsel for grant compliance as part of the record.
