Summary

TRORC proposed managing Tunbridge’s MERP grant for $25,000, which would cover current staff and liaison duties; Selectboard members said Caron doubts the price is worth it and will review the offer at the next meeting.

The Two Rivers-Ottauquechee Regional Commission (TRORC) submitted a proposal to manage Tunbridge’s Municipal Emergency Response Plan (MERP) grant for $25,000, the Selectboard heard Jan. 28.

Maryann Caron briefed the board on the offer and said the fee would cover responsibilities currently handled by her and by a potential MERP liaison.

Separately, Caron reported that Pete Hall has expressed interest in serving as the MERP liaison; she will follow up with him to outline duties and expectations.

No vote or contract was approved at the Jan. 28 meeting; the board will consider next steps after additional review.
