Background:
Each year the Town is required to approve the “Authorizing Resolution of the of the Ledyard Town Council - State of Connecticut Department of Emergency Services and Public Protection, Division of Emergency Management and Homeland Security” to be eligible to receive grant funding to purchase emergency management equipment.
The “FFY 2022 State Homeland Security Grant Program Region 4 Memorandum of Agreement” stated that the towns that make up Region 4 would share their equipment with other towns that were in their Region. He stated this was a great grant program, noting that there was no cost to the town.
Ledyard belongs to DEMIS Region 4, which included all of Eastern Connecticut. Region 4 was scheduled to receive $343,000 in Federal Funding to purchase various equipment for their Region. At the September 8, 2022 DEMIS Annual Meeting the Region agreed to purchase a second Utility Terrain Vehicle (UTV) to be positioned in Voluntown. The first UTV that was purchased was positioned Putnam. In addition, the Region agreed to purchase large towable generators, light boards, command tents that have heating and cooling, etc.
The assets purchased with the federal funding would be available to all towns in Region 4. The equipment would be housed in towns throughout the Region 4 District and each town would be responsible to maintain the equipment housed in their town. Should a piece of equipment be needed in another area that the town that housed the equipment would be responsible to bring it to the town that was in-need of the equipment due to an emergency situation.
