From the meeting
The council discussed acceptance of a Staffing for Adequate Fire and Emergency Response (SAFER) grant from FEMA to hire nine additional firefighters. The fire chief said the department had sought the grant for five years and highlighted the staffing and safety benefits. The item was on the October 12 pre-agenda and was expected to move forward as a grant award package.
This is a live staffing and equipment support signal for public safety vendors and recruiting services.

Acting on pre-RFPs gives SLED and B2G vendors months of lead time to build relationships and shape requirements.
