Committee proposes shifting $200,000 into statewide historic‑site maintenance
Summary
Members proposed reallocating $100,000 from each of two grant programs (total $200,000) into major maintenance for statewide historic sites by adding funds to the capital budget line cited as line 37 to support preservation work.
Chair told members the committee's position would be to move $100,000 from each of two grant programs — a total of $200,000 — into major maintenance for statewide historic sites. "So there'd be 200,000 in, added to line 37, which will allow more of the state historic sites to to be preserved," the Chair said.
Members discussed the distinction between those grant programs and other funds and debated whether the grants should remain distinct; one member suggested returning to a larger prior figure but the Chair described the committee's plan to redirect $200,000. The proposal was discussed but not finalized in the meeting.
Next steps: chair and staff said they would draft the language reflecting the reallocation; no formal vote was recorded during this session.
