Background:
See attached the following:
• October 22, 2024 letter from Division of Emergency Management & Homeland Security
• October 8, 2024 Communications Plus Equipment Proposal
Department Comment/Recommendation:
Director of Emergency Management:
The purpose of this request is to obtain the necessary equipment to allow the Emergency Operations Center to be able to communicate with the fire departments who are in the process of converting over to the state CLMRS 800Mhz radio system.
The reason this is so late coming is that I had to do some re-arranging of funds in the FFY 2025 NSEP grant that this office received this past year and I just got the approval for the $27,950.00 on 11/5/2024. I realize this could be put off but the sooner we complete this project the sooner I can submit the necessary paperwork to get the funds back to the town
Finance Director Comment/Recommendation:
This is a reimbursement-based grant.
