At a public hearing with no members of the public speaking, the Bow Board of Selectmen voted to accept a highway safety grant in the amount of $19,637.82. The board voted to authorize a town representative to sign or approve the grant paperwork.

The hearing opened to allow public comment; none was offered and the hearing was closed before the board moved to a motion. The board then voted to accept the grant; the motion was seconded and the board recorded the vote with all members voting in favor.

The board did not discuss specific projects or line-item uses for the grant in the public hearing. No conditions or offsets tied to the award were stated during the discussion. The board recorded the motion and vote on the record and moved on to other agenda items.
