Selectmen authorize execution of HRA M2 grant MOU covering roughly $520,970
Summary
Bethel's board voted July 21 to authorize the town to enter an MOU with the HRA for an M2 grant (described in the meeting as covering several towns) and empowered a selectman to sign and execute the grant documents; the amount cited in the motion was $520,970.
During old business the board reviewed a memorandum of understanding tied to an HRA M2 grant that was described as a multi-town award covering equipment purchases and related project funds.
The chair moved to authorize the town to enter the agreement and to allow a selectman (identified in the discussion as Daniel) to sign and execute documents necessary to implement the grant. On the record the chair stated the grant amount as "$520,970." A committee member said the grant was for multiple towns (the transcript indicates "five towns" by description) and would cover shared equipment such as a skid steer and other items.
The motion to approve the MOU and to authorize execution was seconded and carried by voice vote. The board noted the grant funding is to be kept in a separate account for the project and that there is some flexibility in how funds could be allocated (for instance, toward equipment or solar for a project).
