Jamestown City Council meeting (May 8, 2023)<\/p><\/div>\n

Jamestown City Council<\/strong> will meet with FEMA<\/strong>\u00a0representatives to ask questions about the SAFER grant<\/strong> at a special council work session on May 16.<\/p>\n

Council President Tony Dolce<\/strong> said there were four basic questions that council members had including if eight firefighters<\/strong> had to be hired with the $1.8 million grant, “The second question was, can the city reapply for the SAFER grant in three years and what is the likelihood of being approved again? Three, would the city have to wait a specific period before applying for the grant for the second time? And the other question was, have other SAFER grantees been approved for a second round of funding and how soon after the second application were they approved?”<\/p>\n

Deputy Fire Chief Matt Coon<\/strong> shared that the purchase of a second ambulance that was approved by Council was ready to go out to bid and that the vehicle could be received as soon as one to two months.<\/p>\n

The meeting with FEMA will take place at 4:00 p.m., Tuesday, May 16 in the Mayor’s Conference Room on the fourth floor of City Hall. It is open to the public.<\/p>\n

City Council Finance and Public Works committees also reviewed and approved a lease extension request for the owner of the Chautauqua Belle<\/strong> to dock at McCrea Point Park<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

U.S. Steam Lines<\/strong> has been using the dock at the park since 2019 and is asking for a new 5-year term lease with the option to renew the lease for two additional 5-year terms. The resolution now goes onto the voting session on May 22 for formal approval.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
