Board approves Meals on Wheels agreement with Madison Foundation and returns CIP residuals
Summary
The board authorized an agreement with the Madison Foundation to manage donations for Meals on Wheels and approved returning $133,856 in completed CIP residuals to the CRE master account, pending Board of Finance approval.
The board approved an agreement to channel donations for the town's Meals on Wheels program through the Madison Foundation, creating an administrative vehicle for fundraising and enabling tax‑deductible donations. Staff noted service continuity and that the foundation had committed a $20,000 contribution as an available seed gift when needed.
"The doctor's note is kind of the key marker that we request," the Meals on Wheels representative said when describing participant eligibility rules; staff described an increase in service demand and explained eligibility and documentation rules are in place to prioritize need.
Separately, the board approved returning $133,856 in residual balances from completed CIP projects to the town's CRE master account, pending Board of Finance approval. Staff explained these are surpluses from projects that came in under budget and the return is standard practice to consolidate remaining balances.
