Summary

At its Oct. 8 meeting the commission: (1) voted to support applying for a Municipal Planning Grant to update the Local Hazard Mitigation Plan and (2) approved a preliminary 2027 budget of $23,910.67. Both motions were recorded as approved in the minutes; no roll-call tallies were listed.

Two formal actions were recorded in the minutes at the Oct. 8 meeting. First, Commissioner Horace Duke moved, and Commissioner Rama Schneider seconded, a motion for the Planning Commission to support and apply for a Municipal Planning Grant to update the expiring Local Hazard Mitigation Plan; the minutes record the motion as approved. Second, Commissioner Rama Schneider moved and Commissioner David Traczyk seconded a motion to approve a preliminary 2027 budget of $23,910.67; the minutes record that motion as approved.

The minutes do not provide a roll-call vote tally for either motion; both are recorded as passed. The HMP grant application requires Selectboard sign-off and other follow-up tasks (preparing application materials, consulting RPC and town staff). Staff were also directed to verify certain budget coding items before final appropriation.
