Town applied for $20,000 grant; weed program may use drones starting in May
Summary
Budget Officer Bill Dashnaw said the town applied for a $20,000 grant (decision expected in June) and that a weed‑removal project could begin using drones in early May; he also raised options for proceeds and next steps regarding the Collins property COC.
Budget Officer and Grant Administrator Bill Dashnaw told the board on April 20 that the town applied for a $20,000 grant; he said the town expects to hear whether it was awarded in June. Dashnaw also said the town’s weed‑removal project may be able to begin using drones starting in early May to support monitoring or removal activities.
Dashnaw reported that the town recently received the Certificate of Completion from the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation for the Collins property and that there had been extensive discussion at the meeting about how to proceed with the sale of that parcel. The board authorized preliminary realtor outreach and directed the attorney to record the COC, steps Dashnaw and others said would clear administrative hurdles for potential disposition.
Dashnaw provided no further details about the grant source or program name in the minutes; the $20,000 figure and projected timeline (decision in June) are recorded in the budget report portion of the minutes.
