Agenda Item Brief: Consideration and possible acceptance of a Home Fire Sprinkler Coalition Fire Prevention and Safety Grant awarded by the Grant Programs Directorate of the Federal Emergency Management Agency in the amount of $1,000 to apply to the cost of distributing and placing digital (broadcast) and print Public Service Fire Safety Announcements.
