The Emergency Services Department would like to request permission to apply for a grant through NC Emergency Management Capacity Building Grant Program for the purchase of a Mobile Incident Command Trailer. The proposed unit would replace our current Mobile Command bus that is aging out and becoming more expensive to keep each year.
The proposed unit will be used during large events, and natural and man-made disasters to help mitigate the issues surrounding these events. Reviewing several models purchased by other entities, the cost of the trailer and a cache of radios would total $335,000.
Recommendation:
Approve Emergency Services to apply for NC Emergency Management Capacity Building Grant to fund the purchase of a Mobile Incident Command Trailer.
