The Town of Union Board on April 16 approved acceptance of a fiscal-year 2024–2025 HOME Investment Partnership Program grant from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development totaling $365,000, with $36,000 allocated for administration. The board authorized contingent salary adjustments for specific staff members funded from the grant: J. Lindsay ($10,000); H. Ranger ($2,500); C. Kylor ($2,500); and C. Johns ($10,000). The board record notes these salary additions are dependent on continued federal funding and would be retracted if the program fails to receive future grants.
The board also approved a resolution to hold a public hearing on the FFY 2025–2029 Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) & HOME Consolidated Plan on May 21, 2025 at 7:00 p.m. in order to solicit public input. Separately, the board appointed Gary Ksenak as committee chairman for FFY 2025–2026 (temporarily filling the duties of former chairwoman Bonnie Cornick) and appointed Kimberly Lieber-Diaz to the Citizens Advisory Council for Community Development for a term ending Dec. 31, 2027.
Minutes note the grant acceptance and related personnel adjustments were filed as prepared resolutions; salaries are explicitly contingent on federal funds remaining available.
