Board reviews town access to federal portals; staff to examine login.gov options
Summary
A staff member raised the need for a town account on login.gov for FEMA and other federal grant portals; the staffer volunteered to investigate nonpersonal account options and to check what correspondence or records are required.
A board member reminded the group that someone in town government needs a login.gov account for FEMA and other federal portals used for grant communication. Town staff confirmed the office uses an account that currently includes personal information and expressed reluctance to hand out personal credentials. "I don't think so because that's what I tried to do when I set it up for the town," the staff member said, explaining limits on creating a nonpersonal account.
Board members asked staff to check whether the town can maintain a dedicated account or whether the account must remain tied to an individual, and to report back with options that protect personal data while preserving grant access. Staff volunteered to research the issue and to consult IRS or FEMA guidance if necessary.
