Board authorizes district to apply for federal, state and industry grants
Summary
The board authorized the fire district to apply for federal, state, private and mining-industry grants during the fiscal year and agreed to return award notifications to the board for final acceptance.
Chief Peterson told the board the district routinely applies for grant funds on behalf of volunteer departments and for district apparatus. He said the district typically secures $5,000–$7,500 annually from the National Fire Danger/Federal Forest Service volunteer fire assistance programs to buy radios, personal protective equipment and hoses.
A commissioner moved to authorize the district to apply for federal, state, private and mining-industry grants and to return award notifications to the board for final acceptance; the motion carried by voice vote with no public comment.
