RE: AFG Grant Award and Acceptance
INTRODUCTION
The FY2016 Capital Improvement Project (CIP) titled "Headquarters Fitness
Room Remodel and Equipment" was dependent on the award of a 2014 Assistance to
Firefighter's Grant through the Federal Emergency Management Agency. I received
notice that the grant has been awarded.
DISCUSSION
The CIP replaces exercise equipment in all fire stations, with some associated
minor electrical and structural work at Headquarters. The total CIP is $70,000. Of this
amount the grant will provide $63,249 toward the project.
RECOMMENDATION
In order to receive the award we must accept the award package. I support this
project and recommend accepting the grant award to complete the CIP in FY2016.
ACTION REQUESTED
I respectfully request City Council consider accepting the Assistance to
Firefighter's grant award for replacement of fire department exercise equipment.
