IV. New Business:
A.
New Community Project Funding Request – Discussion of the following motion:
1.
$200, CERT Helmets & Vests – Motion to allocate up to $2000 in
community project funds (Category: Public Safety) to purchase CERT
helmets and vests for graduates of future CERT classes held within ASNC
boundaries (B2 & B7). The LAFD no longer has the funds to purchase
these items, which previously were handed out to all CERT graduates. As a
result the class in Hermon, which is starting Mar 15th, will not
receive gear if this funding request is not approved. CERT's entire
identify is defined by these safety clothes – therefore it's very
important that other organizations pick up this missing piece of CERT funding.
The LAFD will continue to pay for the majority of the costs (ie.
conducting CERT classes free of charge), as well as help ASNC secure a bulk
discount of vests and helmets through their distributor, SOS Survival
Products. [Request Originator: Mark
Legassie, Public Safety Cmte Chair]New CERT Level 1 certification program being offered on
