Ordinance 2989 — Acceptance of MIEMSS grant funds for the Salisbury Fire Department

Salisbury · Ordinance · Introduced 2026-04-13

Summary

Authorizes the mayor to enter into a contract with the Maryland Institute for Emergency Medical Services System (MIEMSS) to accept grant funds in the amount of $6,972 and approves a budget amendment to appropriate those funds for the Salisbury Fire Department.

Why it matters

This is a relatively small funding ordinance, but it supports fire department operations through outside grant dollars rather than local tax revenue alone.

It also shows how the city is continuing to rely on targeted grants to fund equipment and operational needs within public safety.
