From the meeting
At the October 12, 2026 work session, the council discussed whether to move from a part-time to a full-time Fire Chief position. Administrator Loren Wickham said the City had applied for a federal SAFER grant and that the application was still pending, with results expected later that month. The preliminary levy already included funds for the position.
Staff said they would bring back more data and a job description for the role.

Questions about this project
What is a pre-RFP?
A pre-RFP is an early indicator that a government agency is planning a purchase — a project discussed in a board meeting, a budget line item, a new hire, or a grant award — captured before a formal RFP or bid is published. Acting on pre-RFPs gives SLED and B2G vendors months of lead time to build relationships and shape requirements.
When will City of Oak Grove issue an RFP for this project?
Pre-RFPs typically surface 6–18 months before a formal solicitation is published. Civic IQ tracks City of Oak Grove's meeting records, agendas, and budgets continuously and updates this pre-RFP as the project moves through the buying cycle toward an RFP.
