Commission welcomes new administrative officer and flags $1 million emergency communications grant
Summary
Commission announced the hiring of Scott Roberts as town administrative officer (started July 13) and discussed a $1,000,000 federal grant to support a permanent emergency communications center tied to ongoing police department facility planning.
The commission on the use of publicly owned properties announced the town hired an administrative officer, Scott Roberts, who started July 13 and will assist with grants and grant applications. Chair said the hire is intended to support several ongoing initiatives, including capital planning for public-safety operations.
Chair said the police department issued an RFQ, received six responses and has selected an architectural firm that is negotiating contract terms. She also reported the town received a $1,000,000 federal grant to support emergency communications and said, "it's not really a true emergency communications center" in its current temporary location and the grant will help incorporate a permanent solution into the department's design phases. The commission agreed staff should continue to refine project phases and update the public as details are available.
The commission did not set final phases for the police project at the meeting; members asked the town attorney and the selected architect to clarify potential relocation and phasing questions before the next report. The item will return as project details and contracting terms are finalized.
