Explanation

City Council is working with the Division of Fire, Local 67 Firefighters Union, and private sector partners in a fire awareness and safety program. Activities include the distribution of free smoke detectors, posters, and related literature, and the use of targeted billboards. Nationwide Insurance and Local 67 Firefighters Union have each pledged a $1,500 donation to help support the program, for a total of $3,000, $1,500 of which has already been deposited with the City. This legislation provides authority to use the entire $3,000.

ClearChannel has donated radio time for public service announcements related to the program, and reduced fees for billboard space.
