Cromwell finance board discusses DUI grant timing amid delayed leadership vote
Summary
Board members asked whether postponing the leadership election would jeopardize a DUI grant; members concluded the grant would be placed on the next agenda and would not be lost, while election of a chair remained unresolved.
During a special meeting of the Town of Cromwell Board of Finance, members raised concerns about whether delaying the election of leadership would affect a pending DUI grant. A board member asked, "What's the impact then if we don't do this business tonight, like, with the DUI grant? Like, do I want to lose that then?" The chair responded, "We're not gonna lose it though," and said that if necessary the grant matter could be placed on the next agenda.
Members discussed procedural constraints tied to the unresolved chair election and asked whether electing a vice chairman alone could allow other business to proceed; members present said that the chair must be selected first. After brief discussion the board moved to adjourn and agreed to revisit outstanding agenda items at a later meeting.
The transcript does not specify the grant amount, funding source details, or any statutory deadlines for the DUI grant. Members described the matter as time sensitive but indicated the board expected to carry the grant item forward to the next agenda rather than lose funding.
