Sunbury council approves reallocation of CDBG funds from air packs to hoses and turnout gear
Summary
After a public hearing, council approved moving $207,016 in CDBG funding originally requested for air packs to hoses ($179,118) and turnout gear ($27,898) after the fire company secured an alternate grant for air packs.
Sunbury City Council on Monday approved a modification to the city's 2025 Community Development Block Grant program that reallocates $207,016 originally requested for firefighter air packs to purchase hoses and turnout gear.
Jamie, a city staff member overseeing CDBG projects, told the council the fire company "originally requested $207,016 for air packs" but had "been fortunate enough to get another grant to cover that cost," and therefore asked "to move that money to the purchase of hose in the amount of $179,118, and the rights for turnout here is $27,898." After a brief public hearing with no speakers opposing the change, council voted to adopt the budget amendment.
The reallocation will maintain federal CDBG resources in Sunbury while ensuring the fire company receives equipment it needs this year. City staff said stormwater and engineer reviews tied to other agenda items will continue separately.
Councilors did not attach additional conditions to the reallocation; staff will incorporate the change into the city's CDBG program records and report back as part of regular grant administration.
