July 31, 1995 Page 2 Hearings and Bids - continued Fire Chief Masgamen responded to Mr. Grimm's letter by stating that the initial grant received from the Federal government didn't provide enough funding to repair the roof as needed so a second application was prepared to receive additional funding to cover Phase II and III of the project. There are no remaining funds from the original grant and that account has been closed. The match for the grant has been met through the purchase of land, buildings and equipment located at the training center site. No full time fire station has been established at the training center site although the apparatus floor has been prepared and equipment is stored there if needed for training purposes. The vinyl clad fencing erected at the training center was excess fencing from parks refurbishing and did not involve excess spending.
