Selectmen approve 70% upfront TIF payment for nonprofit, require proof of contractor payment
Summary
The board voted 3-0 to pay a TIF nonprofit 70% of its grant this year only, requiring the nonprofit to show proof it paid the contractor before receiving remainder; failure to provide proof will make them ineligible next year.
The Roxbury Board of Selectmen approved a temporary payment approach for a TIF-funded nonprofit grant, voting 3-0 to pay 70% of the grant amount up front this year only. The motion, made by Selectman Timothy Derouche and seconded by Selectman Matthew Patneaude, included a condition that the nonprofit must provide proof it paid the contractor before receiving remaining funds; if proof is not provided, the organization will be ineligible to apply for the following year.
Board members discussed reimbursement versus advance payment options and noted the decision was shaped by timing and past delays. The motion also acknowledged the snowmobile club’s request for fuel and maintenance allotment and asked that the club submit a written request for consideration in future grant rounds.
