Public participation is now concluded. We have four orders before us this evening. The first is order number 2018-50. It's an acceptance of the fiscal year 2018 State 911 Department Support and initiative grant in the amount of $56,187 from the Commonwealth of Massachusetts Executive Office of Public Safety, fund number 2595.
▶ 1:34 Peter D. Mortimer: Motion to suspend the rules that we might hear from Chief Lyle, Mr. Chairman.
▶ 1:38 Scott M. Forbes: Second. We got a motion to suspend the rules made by Alderman Mortimer, seconded by Alderman Zwirko. Are all those in favor? Aye. Any opposed? The rules are suspended. Chief Lyle, how are you this evening? Good.
▶ 1:47 Speaker 1: Very good.
▶ 1:50 Scott M. Forbes: Much appreciated. If you could just give us a brief description of the grant that's before us tonight.
▶ 1:54 Speaker 1: Certainly. This is a 911 grant. They call it the support grant. It basically assists the police department with some nonessential items.
▶ 2:04 Speaker 1: It's like an AC unit for the dispatch center cleaning service annually. It supports us with our playback system in dispatch for recordings. It also gives us approximately $50,000 for dispatcher salaries, which offsets some of our costs in our budget. That's the grant. We've been getting the same number, $56,187 annually for the past several years.
