Select Board signs onto several grant steps; town wins small grants for signs, canopy and seeks bridge funding
Summary
Grant coordinator Katie reported awards and pending applications: a Grants-in-Aid initial offer of $18,000 (with $4,500 match), a municipal sign package reimbursement up to $5,000, a Communities Caring for Canopy project with $16,000 total cost (town share $8,000), and a HSIP guardrail application for a $46,985 guardrail project (no match). The board approved signing routine grant documents and authorized the chair to sign time-sensitive agreements.
Katie, the town's grant coordinator, updated the board on several active and pending grant projects. She reported an initial Grants-in-Aid offer of $18,000 with a required town match of $4,500 and asked the board to authorize the chair to sign a letter of intent. "This is our pretty standard agreement that we signed," Katie said and requested a motion to sign the Grants-in-Aid participation letter.
Katie also reported the town was awarded a municipal sign package (full reimbursement, up to $5,000) and a Communities Caring for Canopy grant to address tree removal and trimming on Wyndham Hill Road; the canopy project has a total project cost of roughly $16,000 with an $8,000 town share. She said the town already issued an RFP and requested permission for the chair to sign the grant agreement when it arrives because the electronic agreement may come between meetings. The board moved and approved signing the grants-in-aid agreement and authorized the chair to sign the canopy grant documents when ready. Katie additionally described an HSIP guardrail application (project cost $46,985, no match) and several pending Better Roads and municipal-structures grant applications that remain under review.
