Board flags grants-tracking gap amid town admin turnover; $300,000 in potential funds noted
Summary
Members said turnover in town administration has caused gaps in grant tracking and recordkeeping; the Chair estimated roughly $300,000 in grant-related funds may be at stake and asked for improved project tracking and staff follow-up.
Committee members and the Chair reported that turnover in town administration has disrupted records of grants and project statuses. The Chair said, "I can't tell you what's got what's the status of those grants because that information got lost in the transitions," and urged the board to improve tracking using shared tools.
Board members asked staff to compile current grant statuses and to set up a shared project-tracking system (the Chair suggested a Microsoft implementation) so the town can manage roughly $300,000 in potential project funding and avoid losing opportunities.
