Board approves package of four grant resolutions including $80,000 band shell request
Summary
Hillsdale approved a set of four grant resolutions: an $80,000 request for a band shell, $12,000 for a transportation pilot, $5,000 from the Ackerman Community Foundation for the pilot, and $50,000 from Bridal Strom as a match; board asked for itemized uses and confirmation of state park obligations.
The Hillsdale Town Board approved four grant resolutions bundled by staff: an $80,000 request for the band shell (Rheinstrom), a $12,000 transportation pilot program request, a $5,000 request to the Ackerman Community Foundation (identified as Claire’s family foundation) to support the pilot, and a $50,000 request from Bridal Strom to match prior funds.
Board members discussed the history of matching funds and whether prior match requirements had been met. One member asked for a clear breakdown of how the grants’ dollars would be used; staff said the grant materials include lists of needed work and that state parks had been consulted where they own assets. Members requested the itemized list and estimates be circulated to the board before capital work proceeds. The board approved the grouped motion to pursue the four grants but directed staff to provide more detailed budgets and documentation of match sources.
