Selectboard authorizes second public forum for GEI dock study, approves extra contingency match
Summary
The Selectboard authorized Town Manager Derik Goodine to sign a GEI contract adding a second public forum to the dock study; the forum increases the town match by $1,788 (total forum cost $6,788) and the board voted 3-0 to fund the extra match from Contingency.
The Selectboard on April 23 authorized the Town Manager to sign a contract with GEI that includes a second public forum for the waterfront/dock study and approved using contingency funds to cover the additional local match.
Derik Goodine said the State confirmed the second public forum can be part of grant narratives and used in future grant applications. The forum adds $1,788 to the town match (bringing the total public-forum cost to $6,788, including an existing $5,000 allocation). Roberta Boczkiewicz moved to authorize the Town Manager to sign the GEI contract and to take the additional matching funds from Contingency; Amy Gutow seconded and the motion passed 3-0.
The board and manager said the second public forum is intended to help develop a clearer public vision and priorities for the Town Dock area, and to strengthen narratives for possible future grants. The motion authorizes contracting steps; the transcript does not record a separate vote on specific forum dates or materials.
