An Order to authorize the Mayor to accept and expend a grant in the amount of $18,989.00 from the Executive Office of Public Safety and Security and the Department of Fire Services (DFS) FY 2025 Firefighter Safety Equipment Grant Program.

The City of Amesbury authorizes the Mayor to accept and expend an $18,989 grant from the Executive Office of Public Safety and Security and the Department of Fire Services for the FY 2025 Firefighter Safety Equipment Grant Program. The grant will fund the purchase of structural firefighting PPE (boots, coat, pants and suspenders). Funds are disbursed on a reimbursement basis; the city must submit final reports, invoices, and proof of payment, and DFS will provide the contract terms. Equipment orders may not be placed until the contract is executed; this grant supports firefighter safety equipment and aligns with state public safety funding.
