FinCom presses CPC application timing and seeks clearer rules for regional projects
Summary
Tisbury FinCom members urged earlier CPC public hearings and clearer criteria for regional projects, noting concerns that Tisbury may subsidize projects that principally benefit other towns. The committee asked for charts of requested vs. approved projects and discussed possible withdrawal mechanisms for regional proposals.
Committee members criticized the CPC application timeline as tight and urged an earlier public hearing so applicants can prepare the required two-phase submission: a general eligibility application followed by a "shovel-ready" second application with detailed plans and a sponsoring CPC member.
Ruth Konigsberg highlighted a heavy year for regional projects and asked how the CPC evaluates benefits to Tisbury; she asked whether Town funding commitments could be withdrawn if other municipalities do not participate. Members asked for clearer reporting and visual charts (e.g., requested, recommended, approved, canceled) and asked staff to clarify how residual funds and the 5% administration cap are handled.
