Surry selectmen record $49,963 grant for Jaws-of-Life equipment; public meeting required to accept funds
Summary
Selectmen recorded confirmation of a $49,963 Emergency Fund grant for new Jaws-of-Life rescue equipment, with a $2,500 town match; the town will hold a public meeting to formally accept the funds before ordering equipment.
Minutes of the Town of Surry selectmen’s Aug. 12, 2024 meeting record that Jason Contrady emailed confirmation of an Emergency Fund grant of $49,963 to purchase Jaws-of-Life rescue equipment, with a required town match of $2,500.
The selectmen noted they would prepare to order the equipment and that, under town procedure, the municipality must hold a public meeting to accept the grant funds before any purchase is finalized. The minutes state that the check expenditure would occur within 30 days of receipt of funds.
The grant confirmation was recorded as correspondence sent to the board; the minutes do not identify when the public meeting to accept the funds will be scheduled. No formal vote tally is recorded in the minutes on the grant acceptance because formal acceptance requires a separate public meeting, according to the entry.
The entry also records routine financial business for the night: the selectmen signed payroll and paid bills. The minutes do not provide additional detail about the grant source beyond the emailed confirmation from Jason Contrady.
