This order will authorize the City Manager to submit a grant application to FEMA to fund 4 entry level firefighter positions. If approved, the grant application for salaries and benefits would total $278,856 per year with a three year total at $836,568. Unlike prior SAFER applications, FY 2017 requires that applicants include a progressive local match. In each of the first two years there is a 25% match ($69,714 per yr), while in the third and final year there is 65% match ($181,256). Although there is no requirement to retain positions at the conclusion of the grant’s period of performance, the match requirement has been introduced to the SAFER program to encourage communities to retain the positions. This was reviewed and recommended for approval by the Government Operations Committee on April 2, 2018.
