Tamworth committee reports $5,607 donation for EV chargers; board requires contract review
Summary
The Tamworth Select Board accepted $5,607.13 in donations for an EV‑charging project and discussed an IRS tax‑credit deadline of June 30; board members asked to review a pro‑bono contract from Lawyers for Good Government before the Town Administrator signs.
Peg Loughran and TJ McAndrew told the Tamworth Select Board on May 26 that an additional $5,607.13 in private donations has arrived for a municipal EV‑charger project. Select Board member Karl Behr moved to accept the funds into the Energy Improvements on Town Buildings and Infrastructure Trust Fund; Steven Schaeffer seconded and the board approved the deposit by roll call (Behr yes, Schaeffer yes, Prentice yes).
The committee said the town may be eligible for an IRS tax credit if the project can be fast‑tracked before a June 30 deadline. Lawyers for Good Government has drafted a pro‑bono contract to provide legal help on the potential credit application, but Schaeffer and Lianne Prentice both said they want to review the contract before Town Administrator Emily Nolan signs it.
The committee is seeking quotes for EV charging equipment and installation. The Select Board advised that any quotes and contract documents will need board review and formal sign‑off before execution. No procurement or contract has been signed as of the meeting.
Next steps: the committee will gather quotes for equipment and installation and return to the Select Board for review of any contract. The potential IRS tax credit and the June 30 time frame remain constraints the committee is monitoring.
