Public Hearing to accept a Grant from Homeland Security for communication equipment for the Police Department and Emergency Management. The hearing was noticed in the Intertown Record, and posted at the Town Hall, Website, Post Office, and the library seven days prior, per RSA 31:95-b; appropriations for funds made available during the year. In 2003, Congress initiated Homeland Security monies that went out to the States, and in turn went to the communities. The monies distributed were based on population. Monies for the communication equipment will go through an approval process at the State level before monies are distributed. Once approved, the Town of Warner will be reimbursed. The Police Department has previously received over $20,000.00 from a grant for communications equipment which covered three mobile radios; a base radio and two portable radios. With this grant from Homeland Security, three additional portables for the Police Department will complete the transition to digital communications. This Grant also gives Emergency Management digital capability. In Homeland II, the Fire Department will also be able to receive communications equipment.
