Summary

Staff reported the Department of Energy technical assistance grant totaled $77,000 with $10,000 remaining; the board agreed to review remaining work and place the item on the next agenda for direction.

Diane told the Strafford County Board that a Department of Energy technical assistance grant originally totaled $77,000 and that "we have $10,000 remaining," leaving a small balance for follow-up work.

The grant provided technical assistance related to energy matters; Diane asked the board whether they had additional needs before the Department considered the grant closed. Commissioner (Chair) and other board members agreed it would be prudent to review the work and place the item on next week's agenda, giving staff a week to collect outstanding materials and clarify how the remaining funds might be used.

Why it matters: the remaining technical assistance funds could be used to complete grant-writing or energy-audit tasks connected to other projects the board is considering, including the Riverside Rest Home renovation pre-application.

The board did not commit to specific uses of the remaining $10,000 at the meeting, but directed staff to re-circulate the report and return with recommendations and clarifications at the next meeting.
