NVCOG adopts regional service grant resolution to secure core operating funds
Summary
NVCOG adopted a Notice of Grant Award resolution that authorizes receipt of the state regional service grant (distributed by OPM), a recurring fund source that staff said covers roughly 30–40% of NVCOG's operating budget; the board voted to adopt and staff will submit a work plan.
The Naugatuck Valley Council of Governments voted to adopt a Notice of Grant Award resolution to accept the state’s regional service grant administered through the Office of Policy and Management.
Staff explained that the regional service grant represents a substantial share of NVCOG’s annual operating budget (staff noted it pays about 30–40% of operating costs). The resolution authorizes NVCOG to accept the award and submit the required work plan; the board adopted the resolution by voice vote with no roll‑call tally recorded in the transcript.
Why it matters: The regional service grant is a recurring state allocation that supports core staff and program operations for councils of governments. Accepting the award and submitting an approved work plan are necessary steps for NVCOG to receive those funds.
Board action and next steps: With the resolution adopted, staff will submit the required work plan to the state and OPM and proceed with the program’s budget and reporting steps.
