Commission approves $20,000 JAG interlocal with Rochester to buy a utility vehicle
Summary
Strafford County commissioners voted to accept a $20,000 Eugene Baron Memorial Justice Assistance Grant (JAG) administered through an interlocal agreement with the City of Rochester to purchase a utility task vehicle.
Strafford County commissioners approved an interlocal agreement with the City of Rochester to accept $20,000 from the Eugene Baron Memorial Justice Assistance Grant (JAG) for the purchase of a utility task vehicle.
Commissioner 1 described the JAG award as an annual (“perennial”) federal grant and said the city of Rochester applied for the funds and the county must accept and pass through the award for the city to draw down the federal money. The funds are intended to purchase a utility task vehicle for public-safety or operations use, as described in the meeting.
The commission treated the agreement as a routine, ministerial action; a motion to accept the interlocal agreement was made and seconded, and the commission approved the acceptance by voice vote. Commissioner 1 said the item is typically housekeeping and that the city will determine the final equipment purchase.
The chair noted the grant is a federal drawdown and that the county’s role is to accept the interlocal agreement so Rochester can access the awarded funds.
Votes recorded in the meeting indicated unanimous approval of the interlocal agreement.
