The Select Board voted to engage Sarah Barrett Consulting LLC to prepare the Northern Borders Regional Commission pre-application. A board member reported an initial discussion with Sarah Barrett, who proposed $2,500 for the pre-application and an additional $2,500 for the final application; the board moved to authorize the pre-application engagement and to permit contracting terms that allow the town to use the consultant for future grants as needed.

Members asked staff to draft a brief contract consistent with the motion and return it for formal signing at the next meeting if required. The board noted the Northern Borders pre-application has a tight timeline and asked the consultant to begin work promptly so the pre-application could be submitted by the August 21 pre-application date mentioned in the discussion.
