The Jersey City Council voted 6-3 to approve a resolution to use a federal grant to acquire a $515,000 Skeeter High Water Rescue Vehicle in case it is needed during flooding after some robust debate. If we do not meet that deadline, then we are subject to penalties,” Acting Business Administrator Peter Horton replied. “Could you just describe the consequence of not making good on the drawn down?” Ward D Councilman Jake Ephros inquired. Horton responded that future federal funding could be withheld, or perhaps even the possibility of losing the current funding completely. We have a lot of stakeholders in Jersey City in need of funding to continue the good work that they do,” he asserted.
