COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION:
April 18, 2001
Honorable Mayor and City Commission
Through the City Manager
Dear Mayor and Co111111issioners:
I am requesting permission to apply for 2 FEMA grants for fire protection for the City of
Muskegon.
The first application is for $500,000 for a four-story fire training and bum tower. This
tower would provide firefighters the ability to train using live bums, do high angle rescue
work, and practice various training evolutions in a fully certified strncture.
The second application is for $200,000 for a Zodiak 25' rescue boat with fire pump and
jet drive. This boat will permit firefighters to handle shipboard fires and rescue and dive
platfom1 functions in drowning and near drowning emergencies.
In each grant our cost would be 10% of the total grant, or $50,000 for the tower and
$20,000 for the rescue boat.
esp ctfully,
Patrick Si'--m,.-p,(...so£-n
