From the meeting
The board approved Resolution 14-2026 to accept the 2025 FEMA Assistance to Firefighters Grant (AFG) and provide the cash match. This creates funded fire department purchasing and implementation activity, although the minutes do not specify the items to be bought. The grant acceptance is a buying trigger for fire equipment, training, or related services tied to the AFG award.

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.
