Ordinance 2990 — Acceptance of Maryland Department of Health grant funds for the Salisbury Fire Department

Summary

Authorizes the mayor to enter into a contract with the Maryland Department of Health to accept grant funds in the amount of $31,642 and approves a budget amendment to appropriate those funds for the Salisbury Fire Department.

Why it matters

This ordinance brings a larger outside funding amount into the fire department budget and reflects the city's continued use of grant funding to support public-safety needs.

In the context of the broader budget debate that dominated the same meeting, this item also highlights how city leaders are still piecing together funding through specific grants while arguing over larger structural cost pressures.
