Authorizing the City to accept and appropriate $51,200 from the Penobscot County allocation of grant funding
from the Department of Homeland Security
This resolve would authorize the City to accept and appropriate a grant in the amount of $51,200
from the State of Maine Homeland Security Grant program. This program is administered locally
through Penobscot County Emergency Management Agency.
The Parks and Recreation Center has been utilized as a charging and warming center during weather
emergencies. In the event of a large power outage, the City relies on City schools for shelters or has
to send citizens to other communities. This funding would allow the City to begin making upgrades
to the Parks and Recreation Center so that it can be used as a medium shelter during weather
emergencies and power outages. Specifically this grant will fund upgrades to the showers and
kitchen areas.
Application for this grant was approved by the Government Operations Committee.
