Select Board accepts $6,900 highway safety grant to fund enforcement overtime
Summary
The Select Board accepted a $6,900 highway safety grant for overtime patrols addressing distracted driving, speeding, impaired driving and seat-belt use; staff said accepting the grant maintains eligibility for additional equipment grants.
Police Chief Luke Fry told the board the town again applied for and received a highway safety grant in the amount of $6,900. The grant funds overtime patrols focused on distracted driving, speeding, impaired driving and seat-belt enforcement and allows participation in statewide enforcement initiatives. The chief and manager emphasized that accepting the grant maintains eligibility for related equipment grant opportunities.
A Select Board member moved to accept the grant terms and authorize signatures (town manager Ed Morris or Police Chief Fry) for the New Hampshire Office of Highway Safety; the motion passed by roll-call vote.
