RESOLUTION ACCEPTING A GRANT FROM CENTERPOINT ENERGY
COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIP
Proposed Action
Staff recommends adoption of the following motion: Approve resolution to accept $2500.00
grant to the Lakeville Fire Department (LFD) from CenterPoint Energy.
Passage of this motion will provide funds to be used toward the purchase of rescue swimmer
equipment.
Overview
The Lakeville Fire Department staff applied for a grant through CenterPoint Energy Community
Partnership Grant Program. On June 2nd City Administrator Justin Miller was notified that we
had received approval for $2500.00 grant toward the purchase of rescue swimmer equipment.
This grant will provide Lakeville Fire Department the opportunity to purchase four sets of rescue
swimmer gear. The benefit to the community is having our firefighters properly trained and
outfitted to respond proficiently on any open water emergency.
Some grants and donations may require the City to incur additional expenditures in order to
comply with grant agreements and restricted donations; therefore, staff is seeking authority to
amend the budget, as appropriate.
Primary Issues to Consider
• Acknowledgement of grant acceptance.
• Chief Meyer will draft a “Thank You” letter following Council’s approval of this
resolution.
