The Greeneville Board Mayor and Aldermen met yesterday afternoon and two resolutions were added to the agenda one being applying for the Community Facility Grant and authorization to purchase a fire truck for the Greeneville Fire Department.
Currently, two of their fire trucks are out of service with issues that are either unable to be fixed or difficult to find certain truck parts. Fire Chief Alan Shipley told the board applying for this grant would allow there to be an opportunity for a new fire truck to the Greeneville Fire Department, which has been needed for quite some time. A motion was made to authorize City Administrator Todd Smith to purchase a fire truck in the amount of $595,000.
The consideration to purchase 8 vehicles leased through Enterprise Fleet Management Program was approved by the board. Recorder Lora Young said all 8 vehicles have low mileage and were recommended for purchase by the comptroller.
A motion was made to start the application process for the Community Development Block Grant. The grant would allow there to be potentially new sidewalks or allow the replacement of sidewalks, which will help the town with their mission on improving gateways.
