Agenda Item Description or Legislation Title

Grant Application - Fire Division

Purpose and Background

The purpose of this agenda item is to apply for a grant from the State of Ohio and accept monies towards the creation and hiring of a full-time Wellness Coordinator/Fire Division Physician, who may be shared with the Division of Police. Additional funds requested would be utilized to provide a two-year source of funding for the four additional positions proposed in 2023. Grant funds would additionally provide the Fire Division with the resources to enter into an agreement for two years with Kettering Health to develop a proactive behavioral health services and support program for members of the Fire Division. The State of Ohio has made available $70 million for this program within all of Ohio. The grant funding program will end December 31, 2024.
