Item No. 11 <br />Memorandum <br />TO: John Godwin <br />City Manager <br />FROM: Larry Wright, Fire Chief <br />SUBJECT: Acceptance of ArkTex COG Grant <br />DATE: June 27, 2016 <br />BACKGROUND: Each year monies become available through our local COG from the Office of <br />the Governor to fund specific items related to terrorism, and infrastructure protection. For the last <br />four years we have applied for and received grants to fund specifically our Dive Team and <br />Hazardous Materials Team. <br />STATUS OF ISSUE: In past years the grants were automatically given with the Mayor's <br />signature verifying the expenditure. This year we are required to pass a resolution by Council <br />verifying the use of these funds. The Resolution is included in the Council Packets. No matching <br />funds are required to accept this grant. <br />BUDGET: N/A <br />RECOMMENDATION: Approve the Resolution accepting the grant money from the ArkTex <br />Council of Governments, <br />
