Summary
The town of East Hampton asked trustees for a letter of support for a waterfront revitalization grant for the Samuys Beach breakwater and bulkhead replacement project. Trustees discussed whether the grant would offset capital budgeted costs and agreed to provide a supporting letter.
The trustees discussed a request from the town of East Hampton for a letter of support for a New York State Environmental Protection Fund waterfront revitalization grant to help fund the Samuys Beach breakwater and bulkhead replacement project.
Trustees asked whether the grant would be incremental to the town's capital improvement budget or would offset budgeted costs. A trustee said the grant would likely offset local expenditures, reducing the town's required outlay. After brief discussion, a trustee offered to make a motion to provide a letter of support and the board moved to approve drafting and sending a support letter.
Trustees did not record a detailed funding breakdown in the meeting; a trustee suggested staff confirm whether the grant would reduce the town's capital contribution or be used in addition to it. The request will proceed as a routine letter of municipal support for the grant application and is subject to the town's grant application process and any state requirements.
