Fire Department FEMA Grant Questioned

Monday night's Clinton City Council meeting was one with brief discussions highlighted by a grant from FEMA for gear for the Clinton Fire Department.
 
Gear valued at roughly $25-hundred was approved but Commissioner John Wise wanted a clarification on why the lowest bid was not approved. According to Assistant Fire Chief Jason Karr and City Administrator Tim Followell, the extra cost was minimal for gear that is much better.
 
 
The grant paid for 16 sets of turn out gear.
