Village manager says Westchester Soil & Water grant tied to Save the Sound settlement was awarded; transcript shows unclear dollar figure
Summary
Village manager reported the village applied for and received a grant from the Westchester County Soil & Water Conservation District linked to the Save the Sound settlement to fund a Salt Shed project, but the transcript’s recorded grant amount appears as "$3.50" and is unclear in the record; staff will place acceptance on the consent agenda.
The village manager told trustees the village applied for and has been awarded grant funds from the Westchester County Soil & Water Conservation District for a Salt Shed project tied to the Save the Sound settlement.
"We were required to submit 350,000, to the Westchester County Soil and Water Conservation District," the manager said, describing the settlement timeline and the county’s subsequent grant program. The manager said the village applied and was the only applicant and asked the board to authorize acceptance of the grant.
During the exchange trustees asked about maintenance requirements attached to the grant and whether the county had given any other money in earlier years. The manager replied that some maintenance requirements are in the grant language and that prior grants had been received in the past for unrelated matters.
The meeting transcript records the grant figure in one exchange as "$3.50," which appears inconsistent with the settlement description; the amount is unclear in the record and will need confirmation from the village clerk or staff before any public notice or contract execution. The manager indicated the acceptance will be placed on the consent agenda for formal action.
Next steps: staff to confirm the grant amount and any maintenance conditions, update the consent agenda materials with the correct dollar figure, and present the item for formal acceptance.
