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 2025 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 Federal Funding to purchase various equipment for their Region.
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.
