Council approves June 18 minutes; copier service plan and grant‑writer fee approach discussed
Summary
Council approved the June 18 minutes, reviewed a copier service plan billed at $43.75 per month and discussed paying a grant writer (Joanne Muldrow) a commission only after grants are secured rather than up front.
The council approved the minutes from its June 18 meeting by voice vote after roll call.
During routine business the Chair reported on a recently purchased copier and its service plan, saying the plan costs $43.75 per month and provides roughly 2,500 copies and free service. The Chair called the monthly charge ‘‘pretty reasonable.’’
The Chair also raised concerns about engaging a grant writer named Joanne Muldrow and recommended that the council pay commission only after grants are obtained rather than paying up front. The Chair said some grant‑writing firms charge around 10% of award amounts and proposed bringing someone on who would be paid only when the town receives the grant.
The council did not adopt formal procurement policy changes during the meeting; the discussion will inform staff practice and future agenda items.
