Select Board accepts $28,944 Highway Safety Grant for police patrols and equipment
Summary
The Lancaster Select Board unanimously accepted a $28,944.40 Highway Safety Grant from the New Hampshire Office of Highway Safety to support police enforcement patrols and equipment; the grant requires a 20% match that Chief Woodworth located in his department budget.
The Lancaster Select Board voted to accept a $28,944.40 Highway Safety Grant from the New Hampshire Office of Highway Safety to support enforcement patrols and equipment for the Lancaster Police Department.
Selectman Kathy-Jean Lavoie moved to accept the grant and authorize Town Manager Jessica Cyr to sign related paperwork; Selectman Shane Beattie seconded and the motion carried. Finance and grant materials presented at the public hearing noted this award is additional to a $6,900.00 grant previously received by the department. The grant carries a 20% match requirement; Selectman Lavoie asked whether the match was available, and Town Manager Jessica Cyr confirmed that “Chief Woodworth was able to find enough funds in his budget to cover the match.”
The board did not record a roll-call tally in the minutes beyond “all in favor.” The acceptance authorizes the town manager to execute the paperwork necessary to receive the funds and obligates the department to provide the required local match. No additional conditions or amendments to the grant were recorded at the meeting.
Next steps: the town manager will sign grant documents and departments will implement purchases and patrol schedules under the grant terms.
