OVER 900-THOUSAND DOLLARS TO PURCHASE NEW AIR PACKS FOR THE DEPARTMENTS…..HOWEVER…..THERE WAS SOME CONFUSION IN WORDING AS TO
WHETHER THE GRANT WAS A PAY OUT OR REIMBURSEMENT GRANT…….JUDGE EXECUTIVE DENNIS HARPER SAID HE HAD BEEN IN CONTACTWITH THE GRANT

AND CITY COUNCIL AUTHORIZED THE MAYOR TO ACCEPT THE “FEMA FIREFIGHTERS GRANT” AND TO ALSO SIGN THE INTER-LOCAL AGREEMENT……
HOWEVER……IF THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT SHUT DOWN CONTINUES PAST OCTOBER 24TH….. THE GRANT WILL GO AWAY OR AN EXTENSION MUST BE ISSUED……
