Item No. 11 <br />TO: City Council <br />Robert Vine, Interim City Manager <br />FROM: Thomas McMonigle, Fire Chief <br />SUBJECT: Acceptance of State Homeland Security Grant <br />DATE: October 14, 2024 <br />BACKGROUND: Each year monies become available through the Office of the Governor's Public <br />Safety Office to fund specific items related to terrorism and infrastructure protection. Over the last <br />decade we have applied for and received multiple grants through this office and others to fund <br />specifically our Dive Team and Hazardous Materials Team. <br />STATUS OF ISSUE: In earlier years the grants were automatically given with the Mayor's or <br />City Manager's signature verifying the expenditure. Since 2016 we have been required to pass a <br />resolution by Council verifying the use of these funds. The Resolution is included in the Council <br />Packet. This grant is for $18,361.00 and is intended to fund a radiation detector for our Regional <br />Hazardous Materials Response Team. No matching funds are required to accept this grant. <br />BUDGET: N/A <br />RECOMMENDATION: Approve the Resolution accepting the grant money from the Office of <br />the Governor. <br />
