DASSEL, MN – During the Meeker County Board meeting, it was announced that Dassel would likely receive $53,874 toward its radio equipment for the ARMER project.
Allied Radio Matrix for Emergency Response, or ARMER as it is referred to, will allow for the change over to 800 megahertz throughout the county and eventually throughout the state.
Meeker County Sheriff Jeff Norlin announced earlier this week that the county was awarded a $162,540 grant from FEMA for city fire departments.
There were several factors that determined how much each department received. One of the reasons Dassel would be receiving the most of all the city fire departments in the county was the number of radios requested and the combination with the fire and rescue.
The amount the City of Dassel owed to the county for the total cost of the project ($72,044) would then change to $18,170. It was noted that the numbers were only preliminary.
