Board reviews Better Back Roads notice and FEMA reimbursements; grant amounts unclear in transcript
Summary
The Select Board discussed a Better Back Roads/East Road grant described in the meeting as having an 80% state share; participants quoted both $32,000 and $3,232 and agreed to verify the paperwork. The board also noted FEMA flood reimbursements received for 2022.
Board members reviewed a notice about a Better Back Roads (East Road) grant. One discussion segment quoted an amount of $32,000 with the state paying 80%, while another segment referenced a figure of $3,232 and a 20% town match; members agreed to print and verify the grant paperwork before finalizing the application. The transcript contains inconsistent figures for the same grant discussion and the board tasked staff to confirm the correct amount.
Separately the board noted FEMA flood reimbursements tied to 2022 flooding; the Chair said the town received about $60,000 and another $52,000 in October attributed to 2022 flood work and that another reimbursement might still be pending. The board discussed whether to budget for such reimbursements given the uncertain timing of state/federal payments.
