Fire-district official urges support for $603,000 solar resiliency grant and alternate 911 center
Summary
Craig Berry, identifying himself as the fire-district secretary-treasurer speaking in a personal capacity, told councilors the district has a $603,000 state-funded solar resiliency grant under deliberation that could provide an alternate 911 center in a catastrophe.
Craig Berry of Gold Hill, who said he is the secretary-treasurer of the fire district but was speaking on his own behalf, asked the council to support the district’s solar resiliency project. Berry said the fire district has received a grant in the amount of $603,000 and that the project is funded by the state (he stated '100%'). He described the project as a facility that could serve as an alternate 911 center and provide field medicine in a catastrophic event.
Berry requested public support and noted the district was still deliberating whether to accept the grant. The council did not take formal action on the grant during the Feb. 26 meeting; the comment was recorded during the public-input portion of the agenda.
