SUBJECT: Request ordinance appropriating State Farm Insurance grant
funds for purchase of a 911 simulator phone
City of Kenai dispatchers provide 911 educational instruction to 1s graders in our local
schools. The dispatchers have borrowed a 911 simulator phone from Central
Emergency Services as an effective teaching aid in the classroom.
In October 2009, the Communications supervisor applied for a grant through State Farm
Insurance to purchase our own 911 simulator phone. We received a letter from State
Farm, dated 2/8/10, that we were awarded a grant for $2,175 to purchase the simulator
phone. The grant award is for cost of the phone, including shipping.
The simulator phone provides invaluable kinesthetic learning for the children to truly
understand and experience how to properly communicate when calling 911. I am
grateful that we were awarded the grant from State Farm Insurance.
On 2/19/10, I provided a check for $2,175 from State Farm to the City of Kenai finance
department. I am requesting an ordinance appropriating $2,175 from the general fund
into the Communications Small Tools account so that we can move forward with
purchasing the 911 simulator phone.
