Brookline Selectboard accepts $580,000 MPU grant, conveys $460,000 to developer
Summary
At its Dec. 23 meeting the Brookline Selectboard unanimously accepted a $580,000 Municipal Per Unit (MPU) grant and voted 3–0 to convey $460,000 to Tamposi Bros LLC; the board closed a public hearing after hearing recommendations from Planning Board leaders.
Selectboard Chair Eddie Arnold called a public hearing on unanticipated MPU grant revenue and read Town Counsel’s emergency-meeting notice before the board took public comment.
Allan Rosenberg, via Zoom and identified as co‑chair of the Planning Board, and Michele Decoteau urged the board to allocate at least $166,000 toward growth‑related work. After closing the hearing, the Selectboard voted unanimously to accept MPU Grant #142 for $580,000 and to convey $460,000 of that amount to Tamposi Bros LLC to satisfy the award conditions.
The motions were made and seconded by Selectboard members and recorded as passing 3–0. The board discussed potential uses recommended by the Planning Board, including finishing upstairs work and a second bunk room at the Safety Complex, but did not specify the detailed project list in the meeting record.
The acceptance is an administrative approval to take the funds into town accounts and the conveyance is a formal transfer required by the grant terms; the Selectboard indicated staff will document project plans and follow any grant reporting requirements at a later date.
The board closed the hearing at 7:10 p.m.; no additional public testimony was recorded on the MPU grant at that meeting.
