The City Council is expected to continue its discussion of the Staffing for Adequate Fire and Emergency Response grant during tonight's meeting.
After being tabled during both March and April's voting sessions, the council is expected to make a final decision by the end of the month, due to the time-sensitive nature of the SAFER grant requirements.
The City Council has requested additional information from both the city administration and the Federal Emergency Management Agency regarding the grant requirements so that each member of the City Council can make an informed decision that considers both the need for increased public safety as well as long-term financial implications.
