Select board endorses grant application and authorizes public-works work plan to restore skate-park water
Summary
Board authorized applying for an up-to-$5,000 sudden-need grant and directed public-works staff to install or contract the skate-park waterline if the grant is awarded, allowing reimbursement for prior expenses already incurred.
Casey Rowe and supporters asked the board to replace a compromised waterline serving the skate park. Staff and a local contractor estimated the work at roughly $3,000$4,700 and public-works foreman Ryan indicated the town crew could complete the job in a few days if scheduling permits. The board discussed using a no-match sudden-need grant (up to $5,000) to cover costs and to reimburse prior expenditures.
"Last October, I told you folks about the up to $5,000 no match grant for sudden and urgent needs," a committee member said, and the board agreed to authorize public works to perform the work upon grant acceptance, or to subcontract if the crew cannot fit it in. The motion authorized staff to proceed upon grant award and to seek reimbursement for eligible prior expenses; the board asked staff to submit the grant application promptly to meet the funder's decision schedule.
