Officials weigh partial donations to Fox Brook Watershed amid AMP grant risks
Summary
Committee members discussed whether to commit up to $20,000 in donations to the Fox Brook/Foxwood Watershed alliance and whether withdrawing from the partnership could jeopardize the county's AMP grant eligibility; staff suggested a partial commitment could be considered.
The committee discussed a request for donations to support the Fox Brook (Foxwood) Watershed alliance and the potential effect of withdrawing from that partnership on the county's AMP grant prospects. Department staff explained the ask and suggested that a partial commitment would be preferable given county budget constraints.
"My fear is that should we drop out, it could impact our amp grant that we have, and it could, you know, potentially impact us securing additional grants in the future," one staff member said. The committee discussed seeking pledges to reach half the requested amount and making an appeal to secure some level of commitment while managing county financial exposure.
