Van Milligen, City Manager FROM: Rick Steines, Fire Chief DATE: September 18, 2018 RE: State Fireworks Grant Award INTRODUCTION In June you approved my request to apply for a grant through the lowa State Fire Marshal (dated June 27). This application was to provide a No-Match grant to purchase a rated storage magazine for confiscated fireworks. We were notified that our request is being awarded. BACKGROUND The grant is part of the new fireworks legislation that was enacted in 2017. The grant is funded by State permit fees from fireworks sellers. All applications were to relate to the enforcement or education of fireworks. DISCUSSION I have attached the award letter from the State Fire Marshal for review. The grant award amount is $2,391 .00. This grant award covers the entire cost of the purchase as a reimbursement. We would need to make the purchase and complete the state documentation for that reimbursement. RECOMMENDATION I recommend accepting this award. There is a 14-day period to acknowledge our acceptance. I believe this needs to go to City Council for approval, so I am communicating with the State Fire Marshal to allow time for this process. ACTION REQUESTED I respectfully request your recommendation to City Council to accept this grant award.
