Board approves Casey's request to apply for two small grants
Summary
The Slack board voted to allow a public commenter, Casey, to apply for two grants—one for about $500 and a Green Mountain Fund grant up to $5,000—stating neither requires town matching funds. The motion passed by voice vote.
The Slack board voted to approve a request from Casey to apply for two grants that require no town match.
The request, presented during public comment, named a small $500 TD-related award "to replace the the damaged bridal" and a Green Mountain Fund grant with a maximum award of $5,000 for shed security upgrades. The board discussed urgency—Casey said one application must be submitted by Friday—and then took a motion. The chair asked for a motion: "I'm looking for a motion for approval from the board for Casey to apply for 2 grants with no town matching funds," and the motion was moved, seconded and approved by voice vote.
Board members confirmed there is no municipal match required. The record contains the applicant's statements that the $500 award is time-sensitive and the Green Mountain Fund application is for up to $5,000; the exact grant program names were rendered in the transcript as "TD reading 1" and "Green Mountain Fund," and the board recorded no town contribution. The board directed staff to assist with submission logistics if needed.
