RESOLUTION NO. FY2018-15
A RESOLUTION OF THE KODIAK ISLAND BOROUGH ASSEMBLY
AUTHORIZING THE KODIAK ISLAND BOROUGH BAYSIDE FIRE
DEPARTMENT TO SUBMIT AN APPLICATION TO THE ASSISTANCE
TO FIREFIGHTERS GRANT PROGRAM
WHEREAS, the Assistance to Firefighters Grant (AFG) is a competitive funding opportunity
through the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, Federal Emergency Management (FEMA);
and
WHEREAS, the purpose of the AFG program is to "enhance the safety of the public and
firefighters with respect to fire and fire -related hazards by providing direct financial assistance to
eligible fire departments, nonaffiliated EMS organizations, and State Fire Training Academies
(SFTA) for critically needed resources to equip and train emergency personnel to recognized
standards, enhance operational efficiencies, foster interoperability, and support community
resilience;" and
WHEREAS, the Bayside Fire Chief has identified the fire station's need of an Exhaust
Extraction System which qualifies for application to the AFG program; and
WHEREAS, the estimated cost of purchasing, shipping and installing an Exhaust Extraction
System at the Bayside Fire Station is estimated to be $99,895; and
WHEREAS, the grant program match requirement for a community with a population less
than 20,000 is five percent which is $4,995; however it has been determined that the price,
including shipping to Kodiak, is higher than average so a 10% match in the amount of $9,990
may make a more favorable application, and the Fire Protection Area No. 1 fund includes fund
balance that is sufficient to contribute a 10% match.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE ASSEMBLY OF THE KODIAK ISLAND
BOROUGH that the Kodiak Island Borough Bayside Fire Department is authorized to submit an
application to the Assistance to Firefighters Grant program for assistance in purchasing,
shipping and installing an Exhaust Extraction System in the Bayside Fire Station.
ADOPTED BY THE ASSEMBLY OF THE KODIAK ISLAND BOROUGH
