Title, Order
Authorizing the City Manager to submit a FEMA application for FY 17 SAFER (Staffing for Adequate Fire and
Emergency Response) grant for 4 firefighter positions.
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.
