Control District and authorize all necessary budget amendments (local match $1,056).
OBJECTIVE: Obtain approval to accept the Volunteer Fire Assistance Grant Award to

Ochopee Fire Control District has sufficient funding in the operating budget to cover the required
local match in the amount of $1,056 will be used for brush fire containment. This 50150 grant
will allow Ochopee Fire Control District to increase suppression power by acquiring more foam
