  OTHER BUSINESS:

  GRANTS- Kris Gibson, Jess, Bret

● From Kris Gibson- We have not applied for the FEMA grant

for some time. Her concern was needing more time for internal capacity and infrastructure to provide the necessary grant documents as well as tracking and reporting requirements. It feels like the Board and the department are closer to that goal.

Direction for Kris as to applying this year or next? What would be our priority? Vehicles? Station Renovation? Larger Equipment needs? She would vote for a Command Type Vehicle or Pickup Truck.

● Kris Gibson is working on the DFPC grant which is due by the end of the month. She had questions whether we needed to identify our intent to file for this grant in the budget, which was something prior GH leadership had requested from her.
