Summary
The Select Board approved accepting $15,862 from the Seabrook-Hamptons Estuary Alliance (SHEA), funded by NOAA, to review and update Hampton's Stormwater Management Regulations and authorized the Town Manager to sign grant documents.
The Hampton Select Board on June 8 approved accepting $15,862 in grant funds from the Seabrook-Hamptons Estuary Alliance Estuary Management Plan Small Grants Program, funded by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, to support a review and update of the town’s Stormwater Management Regulations.
Chair Carleigh Beriont opened a public hearing under RSA 31:95-b, III (a) on the grant; no members of the public spoke during the hearing. Select Board member Donald Bliss moved to approve acceptance and expenditure of the funds and to authorize Town Manager James Sullivan to sign any necessary grant agreements; the motion passed 5-0-0.
The board packet included a memo describing the proposed use: review and update of Hampton’s Stormwater Management Regulations. The Board did not provide a detailed timeline for the regulatory review during the meeting and did not discuss matching funds or staff assignments; the Town Manager was authorized to execute agreements and follow normal grant administration procedures.
The acceptance formalizes use of federal NOAA-backed funding through the regional SHEA program to help the town update its local stormwater rules.
