Lisbon selectmen unanimously authorize emergency management grant resolution
Summary
The Lisbon Board of Selectmen on June 22 adopted a resolution authorizing the town to enter into grant documents with the Connecticut Department of Emergency Services and Public Protection, empowering First Selectman Thomas W. Sparkman to execute related agreements on the town's behalf.
The Lisbon Board of Selectmen voted unanimously June 22 to adopt an authorizing resolution that allows the town to enter into agreements and deliver documents to the Connecticut Department of Emergency Services and Public Protection, Division of Emergency Management and Homeland Security, in pursuit of an Emergency Management Program Grant (EMPG). The motion was made by Selectman William C. Surfus and seconded by Selectman Robert T. Browne.
The resolution, certified in the meeting record by Town Clerk Michelle Grant, designates First Selectman Thomas W. Sparkman to execute and deliver any documents the town deems necessary to carry out the grant terms and to perform related acts. The certificate of adoption included a statement that Sparkman has held the office of First Selectman since November 19, 1997.
Board minutes show the resolution text authorizes the First Selectman to execute and deliver all agreements and documents contemplated by the EMPG application and to take actions he deems necessary or appropriate to implement the grant. The board did not record additional conditions or a specified award amount in the meeting minutes.
The motion passed without dissent. The board took several other routine actions at the meeting, including approving prior minutes and line-item transfers; none of those votes altered the EMPG authorization.
