REQUEST: Fire Department Requesting Authorization to Accept a Grant for $1,500 and to
Authorize a Supplemental Budget Appropriation for Equal Amount.
PURPOSE: The purpose of this Commission item is to request authorization to accept a $1,500
grant from the Wal-Mart Foundation and authorization to the Fire Department to
expend the grant funds through a supplemental budget appropriation to the Fire
Department for purchase of the operational items for each station not to exceed
$1,500.
CONSIDERA TIONS:
The Fire Department was contacted in October 2006 by the manager of the Wal-Mart
Market located on Red Bug Road. The manager stated that her local store each year is
allowed to award a grant as a community partner. There was no application process
and this same award has been given to other government agencies as well as groups
who provide services in the community. Finally there is no direction on how to use the
funds other than enhancing the quality oflife at the fire station, or other small
equipment purchases.
