Select Board votes: chapter 90 contract extension, EMPG grant, licenses and routine appointments
Summary
The board authorized a 10‑year extension to the town’s MassDOT Chapter 90 master contract, approved an FY2025 EMPG grant contract for roughly $4,100 to buy shelter supplies, approved one‑day liquor licenses and multiple routine appointments and resignations; several motions were recorded as unanimous.
The Select Board approved a series of routine items on Aug. 3, including an amendment to extend the town’s MassDOT Chapter 90 master contract to June 30, 2037 to preserve reimbursement eligibility for eligible projects. Town staff said there were no substantive technical changes and the extension was authorized unanimously.
The board also authorized execution of an FY2025 EMPG grant (about $4,100) from MEMA to procure shelter supplies (cots, blankets, pillows) for local emergency sheltering; the town satisfied the grant match requirement through a recent investment in the 911 system. The board approved one‑day all‑liquor licenses for Holy Ghost Cove events in August and acted on multiple routine personnel items: approving committee appointments, accepting resignations (a seasonal cemetery laborer and a Beach Committee member) and appointing election workers as presented.
