April 19, 2010 <br />OWN <br />Dear Chief, <br />As we move closer to the application period for the 2010 Assistance to Firefighters <br />grant, we have noticed an item that was unknowingly overlooked as a part of the <br />original radio grant request of February 18, 2010. In attending a local grant <br />workshop, it was discovered that the City of Brainerd, serving as the fiscal agent for <br />the grant would become responsible for all the radio equipment purchased with the <br />grant dollars. This is an unreasonable expectation to saddle the City of Brainerd with. <br />To resolve this issue and allow the application process to move forward, it is <br />requested that all of the Cuyuna Range Fire Department's associated with the radio <br />grant, commit through Council action to take responsibility for their entity's <br />inventory of radio equipment that may be awarded and purchased through the 2010 <br />Assistance to Firefighters Grant. A commitment letter is requested from your entity <br />as soon as possible, stating this responsibility request. <br />If the Cuyuna Region is successful and is awarded this regional radio grant, a Memo <br />of Understanding will be signed by your entity at that time, listing your <br />responsibility for all equipment purchased at that time through the use of serial <br />numbers. <br />Please email or fax your commitment letter as soon as possible to Elaine at <br />ekraemer@ci.brainerd.mn.us or fax to 218 - 828 -2331. Thank you for your prompt <br />attention to this matter. <br />Sincerely, <br />CITY OF BRAINERD <br />Keith Bachman <br />Acting Fire Chief <br />/ek <br />M <br />
