Item No. 14-326
Date: October 27, 2014
Item/Subject: Order, Authorizing the City Manager to Apply for a $50,000
Assistance to Firefighters Grant for the Replacement of Air Bottles used on Self
Contained Breathing Apparatus
Responsible Department: Fire Department
Commentary: The 2014 Assistance to Firefighter Grant program is expected to open
for applications in early November. The attached order would authorize the submission
of a $50,000 grant application to replace 55 air bottles used on the department's self
contained breathing apparatus. Air bottles have a service life of 15 years and the City's
current units will expire in 2015. This grant does require a 10% local match, which is
available within the City's Fire Equipment Reserve account.
This was reviewed and recommended for approval by the Government Operations
Committee on October 20, 2014.
