City Council approves SCBA grant; equipment reported delivered
Summary
Council members approved a grant package that includes an FY SCBA award of about $170,000, with the city’s share estimated near $80,000; officials said the equipment arrived the week before the meeting and paperwork remains outstanding.
A committee member told the council that last year’s FY 02/2014 grant group award for SCBA equipment totaled about $170,000, with the city’s share “gonna be about close to 80,000 of that.” The council moved to approve the grant package and the chair announced a motion by Councilor Williams, seconded by Councilor Kyler; the motion passed on a voice vote.
Council discussion noted the physical equipment had arrived “Thursday or Friday” before the meeting but that administrative paperwork was still being completed. The committee member emphasized the grant-funded equipment is in place, while staff still needs to finish related documentation; no specific implementation deadlines were stated at the meeting.
