Union City, Tenn.–Meeting in regular session, the Union City City Council approved installation of security cameras at both city fire stations.
The Union City Fire Department was awarded a $5,000 Public Entity Partners Property Conservation grant. This grant is 50/50 meaning the City will be out of pocket $5,000 and the grant is $5,000. This gives the city $10,000 to spend on security cameras. It is a budgeted item.
Council also passed a resolution to allow the fire department to apply for a 50/50 Public Entity Partners grant for driver training. Again our match is a budgeted item. Council is also applying for a Cunningham Playground grant. It’s a 50/50 grant that would place playground equipment at Vetereans Park. It’s a $130,000 grant. City would pay half. Also in the budget.
A reminder: the city’s annual leaf pickup will begin the week of November 4th. They will be running two trucks. Rake leaves to the curb (not into the street). Don’t use bags.
