The Nantucket Planning and Economic Development Commission voted Oct. 27 to accept a $50,000 District Local Technical Assistance (DLTA) grant and authorized the director to sign the contract. The award requires a local 10% match; staff indicated the local match would be $5,000.
Commissioners asked about the overhead rate used to budget staff time and indirect costs. Staff explained overhead covers office operating costs and is applied in the usual manner to staff salary and project billing. The contract and the 10% match were presented as consistent with prior DLTA awards.
Motion and vote: A commissioner moved to accept and authorize execution of the DLTA contract; the motion was seconded and passed by voice vote with members present voting aye.
Next steps: Staff will finalize contract signature and program the funded tasks into the NPDC work plan. No additional local appropriations were requested beyond the $5,000 match noted at the meeting.
