Tinmouth selects to submit letter of intent for municipal roads grant
Summary
At the April 9 meeting the board moved to submit a letter of intent to participate in the municipal roads grants and aid program (GIA/paving grant). Members discussed authorized contacts and the 20% local match requirement for the larger grant program.
A board member moved to submit a letter of intent to participate in the municipal roads grants and aid program; a colleague seconded and the board agreed the town should pursue the grant.
In presenting the motion, the member stated the purpose: "So we make a motion, to submit the letter of intent to participate in the s f y 20 '7 municipal roads grants and aid program." Members discussed who would be the duly authorized representative(s) for the application and noted the program's requirement to spend awarded funds within a two-year window. The board named a chair-level contact and directed staff to return with formal authorization information to be included in the grant paperwork.
Board discussion also covered the grant stacking strategy — using the paving grant in combination with town paving plans — and the need to identify the 20% local match for a potential $300,000 project if the full grant is awarded. Staff were asked to prepare any required LOI documents for the chair's signature and to bring the final authorization language back for formal approval.
