Henderson adopts resolution to apply for PEP Property Conservation Grant; proposes first-aid kits and network upgrades
Summary
The board approved Resolution No. 2024-009 authorizing an application for a Public Entity Partners Property Conservation Grant (50% match, maximum $4,000). Recorder Garland said AEDs were disallowed and recommended first-aid kits for city vehicles and improved networking at remote locations.
The Board of Mayor and Aldermen voted to authorize the City of Henderson to apply for a Public Entity Partners (PEP) Property Conservation Grant, which requires a 50% local match and has a maximum award of $4,000.
Recorder Jim E. Garland said PEP informed city staff that automatic external defibrillators (AEDs) are not eligible under this grant, so he requested first-aid kits for all city vehicles instead and proposed using grant funds to improve networking at remote city buildings. "This grant is for property conservation. Last year the grant funds were used to purchase a new network fire wall. This year, he and Kevin Bailey (GIS/IT Technician) have decided to ask for better networking at other city locations (remote buildings)," Garland said. Alderman Keith Smith moved to approve Resolution #2024-009; Alderman Mark A. Barber seconded. A roll-call vote recorded ayes from all six aldermen and noes none; Mayor King declared the resolution adopted.
The transcript did not include the grant application text or detailed budget breakdown; the board approved pursuing the grant and the proposed uses Garland outlined.
