TITLE
A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING SUBMISSION OF AN APPLICATION FOR A GRANT
TO THE "ASSISTANCE TO FIREFIGHTERS GRANT PROGRAM" FOR THE
CONSTRUCTION OF A REPLACEMENT FIRE STATION AND AUTHORIZING THE
PRESIDENT OF THE CITY COUNCIL TO EXECUTE SAME.
ISSUE
Should City Council approve the submission of an application for a grant administered
by the "Assistance to Firefighters Grant Program "? If the grant is awarded, the
acceptance of the grant will be brought to City Council by separate Ordinance.
Approval of Resolution
BACKGROUND
The City is applying for approximately $2,792,932 in federal dollars for the construction
of a replacement fire station. This will replace fire station #4 currently located at 1201
East Evans.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
While there are no cost share requirements under the station construction grant, if the
applicant pledges to contribute toward the construction project in the application, as a
condition of award, we are required to contribute to the final costs of the project in the
same ratio pledged in the final approved application. That pledge by the City Council is
$500,000.
