THE 30-SECOND BRIEF
The council will hear a presentation from Chief Michael Blackshear regarding funding for the Volunteer Fire Department using a 95/5 grant totaling 165,000. This implies the city is seeking or planning to seek grant funding in which 95 percent is grant-funded and 5 percent is a local match, likely for fire apparatus, equipment, or facilities.
The agenda does not specify the exact items to be purchased, so the project is still being defined and justified for grant purposes. Public safety vendors supplying fire trucks, protective gear, communications, and station equipment can engage early to help scope compliant, grant-ready packages and position themselves for procurement once the grant is awarded and the city moves into purchasing. There may also be a need for grant-writing or administration support around this opportunity.
95/5 structure suggests a program like state or federal fire grants where the city contributes a small match; specific grantor is not named.

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