Board approves posting of updated occupancy‑tax (OctEx) grant application, asks for paper option
Summary
The board approved posting a revised OctEx grant application on the town website and asked staff to provide a paper option and clearer category guidance at Town Hall; one member abstained from the vote for lack of information.
Board members reviewed an updated occupancy‑tax grant application (OctEx); staff revised the budget form to include clearer pull‑down categories and guidance after earlier confusion. Members agreed the application should be posted immediately to comply with the occupancy tax timeline but asked for a printable paper version at Town Hall with category descriptions for applicants.
One member recorded an abstention at the vote citing lack of information, while most members voted to post the updated form to the website. Board members acknowledged the timing was not ideal but emphasized the need to publish the updated application because the occupancy tax went into effect the prior day.
A motion was made and seconded to post the form and the board asked staff to add a paper option and additional details to the back page of the form before finalizing any future edits.
