Emergency Response (SAFER) grant; and
WHEREAS, the goal of the SAFER grant is to enhance the local fire
department's abilities to comply with the staffing, response and operational standards;
and
WHEREAS, the Department requested and received consensus to apply for the
SAFER grant seeking funding to hire six (6) additional paramedic /firefighters for the Mt.
Pleasant Station (Station) based on the department's five -year plan and the additional
six (6) positions will allow 24/7 staffing of an ALS ambulance or fire engine at Mt.
Pleasant; and
WHEREAS, the 2012 SAFER grant provides funding for two (2) years and no
longer requires continuing funding for approved grant funded positions after the
expiration of the grant; and
WHEREAS, the SAFER grant would provide funding of approximately $640,000

personal protective equipment and uniforms costs estimated to be approximately
$30,000 for the two (2) year grant period; and

WHEREAS, the County is facing projected budget deficits due to lower revenue
estimates and higher operating costs for VRS and other expenditures, and the
availability of funds to replace the lost grant funded positions in year three is not known.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the RCBoS confirms its consensus
to seek the six (6) positions via an upcoming SAFER grant application; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that during the County's budget preparation in the
second year of possible grant funding, county staff will evaluate midyear the likelihood
of the availability of funds to replace lost grant funds. If funds are unlikely to be
available to fund the lost grant funds of $320,000 annually and ancillary equipment
costs, the County Administrator is directed to freeze hiring of vacant positions in the Fire
and Rescue Department until staffing is adjusted in the department to pre -grant levels;
and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the six (6) grant - funded positions will be
classified as "grant funded positions" in the County Class Plan, until such time as it is
shown they can be permanently funded within the budget.
