Discussion:

In October 2020, FEMA announced a second round of funding was available to career, volunteer and combination fire departments to apply for critical Personal Protective Equipment and supplies needed to prevent, prepare for and respond to the COVID-19 public health emergency.

 

The Shakopee Fire Department is requesting funding for two Graco SaniSpray HP cordless sanitizing hand-held sprayers and two containers of solution. The sprayer will allow fire fighters to sanitize the interior of vehicles, if Covid contact is suspected. 

Budget Impact:
The cost of a SaniSpry HP is $1,150/ea. and solution is $75/container for a total of $2,450. A 10% match is required, which equates to $245. The match amount will be covered by the department's equipment budget.
