Town board formally accepts $125,000 Barrett grant for Sewer River work
Summary
Hillsdale trustees voted to accept a $125,000 state grant (Barrett grant #229437) for the Sewer River project, authorizing paperwork signing and reimbursement after confirming prior contract review.
The Hillsdale Town Board voted to accept a New York State grant — identified in the meeting as the Barrett grant, number 229437 — totaling $125,000 to support work on the Sewer River.
Chair (speaker 2) told the board this is the second Barrett grant and said the motion was to accept the award, sign required paperwork and begin the reimbursement process. A board member raised a procedural question about whether a state contract was in place and whether the board had reviewed it; the chair and other members said the contract had been reviewed previously and this vote is the formal authorization to sign. One member asked for the paperwork to be made available on the agenda; chair said documentation had been pre-posted in previous packets.
A roll-call-style check produced four affirmative votes; one member recorded an abstention during the minutes vote earlier in the meeting, and discussion confirmed the board intended to proceed with the grant acceptance and reimbursement process. Chair thanked Assemblymember Barrett and Senator Hinchey for their assistance in securing the award.
