AGENDA ITEM #7.1 <br /> City of <br /> Pequot <br /> Lakes <br /> REPORT TO <br /> CITY COUNCIL <br /> Report Prepared by: Tom Nelson <br /> Date: December 1, 2015 <br /> Subject: Air Packs <br /> Report: I am looking for Council approval to join other <br /> Crow Wing County Fire Departments in the FY 2015 <br /> Assistance to Firefighter Grant (AFG). This Grant application <br /> is supposed to open in December with awards to finish in the <br /> spring of 2016. We are looking at purchasing SCBAs (air <br /> packs) in 2016, with a purchase price of$122,414. If we are <br /> successful with an AFG Grant award, our responsibility will be <br /> 5% or $6,121. This would save the City $116,293. If we are <br /> not successful with a Grant award, we will pursue purchasing <br /> the SCBAs (air packs) in 2016 with an equipment certificate or <br /> some other financing source. <br /> Council Action Requested: Council motion authorizing the <br /> Fire Department to proceed with the FY 2015 Assistance to <br /> Firefighter Grant for the purchase of SCBAs (air packs). <br />
