Danbury City Council reallocates American Rescue Plan Act funding

The Danbury City Council has signed off on reallocation of American Rescue Plan Act funding to projects that were approved in June.  $800,000 was added to the Fire Department's $1.81 million to replace an aerial truck that's aging out of service.  The Facade Improvement Program is being reduced from $300,000 to $100,000, with the difference being committed to the Small Business Economic Assistance Program, which assists entities adversely impacted by the pandemic.  Prior years Capital Funds has $170,000 remaining for Facade Improvements.  $132,000 for Automated External Defibrillators, to replace aging AEDs in City buildings and the Fire Department's first responder program, was added.  The funding will also help pay for Stop the Bleed kits at City buildings.  $37,000 was also added to purchase and install cameras at high impact areas, allowing emergency management officials to monitor weather and road conditions and other safety hazards.  Officials say this will also provide situational awareness for public safety personnel.
