Local groups and individuals have fundraised $10,000 themselves for lights and continue to work on do-it-yourself, makeshift tree decorations. This result was not something our Public Works staff can carry on doing, nor something that was attractive. The generator would be a key step in emergency preparedness. During prolonged power outages it would allow staff1 light, power, and shelter SO they could stage basic operations clearing roads and responding to calls. We were not able to allocate money for either of these expenses in the 21-22 Budget (while keeping unappropriated surplus at 0).

Itis typically difficult for Coats to find money for items similar to this, but we are in a unique position right now having received Covid Relief Funds (CRF) earlier this year.
