Despite concerns over what damage the COVID-19 pandemic could do to the future of city coffers, City Council members on Monday voted to apply for a federal grant that could add firefighters to the city’s department. The decision to try out for the Staffing for Adequate Fire and Emergency Response — SAFER — grant came after the Federal Emergency Management Agency did away with a requirement that cities pick up part of the tab. Council member Margaret Kline cast the lone “no” vote, questioning if the move would mean city workers in other departments would be displaced if the coronavirus led to a lag in city revenue while the city was locked into fire service staffing levels because of the grant.
