SeVEDS requests $7,851 from Putney; board seeks clearer local benefit breakdown
Summary
Danielle Delaini of BDCC asked the Selectboard for $7,851 in annual support for SeVEDS programming. Board members requested a clearer breakdown of how SeVEDS benefits residents of Putney and clearer separation between SeVEDS and BDCC communications.
Danielle M. Delaini of BDCC presented a request to the Selectboard on behalf of SeVEDS for annual funding of $7,851 — the same amount the town provided the prior year. She said SeVEDS supports local businesses and student educational programs and that the organization had sent a survey seeking community input on desired programs.
Board members asked for more specificity about SeVEDS activity in Putney. Fletcher Proctor and Howard Fainnan asked for a breakdown showing direct benefits to Putney residents and more publicity of local work; Delaini acknowledged that some SeVEDS communications appear as BDCC news and said clearer separation would be helpful. The board did not vote on funding at the Oct. 15 meeting and asked for more detail before making a decision.
