4 Kennebunk can choose to nominate a municipal official; however, we are not required to do so. If the Board wishes to nominate a representative, the motion could be as follows: MOTION: To nominate as Kennebunk s representative to the MMA Legislative Policy Committee. 9. New Business a. Discuss a Fire Department "Safer Grant" Fire Chief Jeff Rowe will discuss with the Board the idea of applying for a grant under the Staffing for Adequate Fire and Emergency Response Grants (SAFER) program. This grant program was created to provide funding directly to fire departments and volunteer firefighter interest organizations to help them increase or maintain the number of trained, "front line" firefighters available in their communities. The goal of SAFER is to enhance the local fire departments' abilities to comply with staffing, response and operational standards established by the NFPA (NFPA 1710 and/or NFPA 1720). If the Board chooses to support this initiative, the motion might read: To authorize the Town Manager to issue a letter to the granting agency citing that the Town of Kennebunk has a clear understanding of the long-term obligations of the SAFER grant, and that if awarded to the Town, all parties involved are in support and committed to fulfilling those requirements upon acceptance of this award.
