Summary
City Supervisor Houk reported a $138,000 federal reimbursement claim for recent flood damages; the Fire Department needs three sets of bunker gear at $4,300 each and Police awaits AXON training and plans grant applications for radio costs.
At the Jan. 26 meeting, City Supervisor Houk reported that the city has submitted a claim for $138,000 in federal reimbursement for recent flood damages. Chief Stigall told council he is waiting for an AXON representative to schedule training for the department's new equipment and that the department expects unbudgeted expenditures related to radio replacements, for which he plans to apply for grants.
Mayor Bethany Barnard reported that, in the absence of Fire Chief McGee, the Fire Department needs to order three sets of bunker gear at a cost of $4,300 each. Councilors asked clarifying questions about timing and budget impacts; no appropriation was recorded at the meeting specifically for bunker gear, and supervisors indicated funding requirements would be handled through department budgeting processes or future council action if needed.
