Committee approves $59,705 grant for YD Red Sox ADA walkway and seating safety

The Dennis Community Preservation Committee voted unanimously to award $59,705 to the YD Red Sox for an ADA walkway and seating-safety improvements.

Committee member (S6) moved the grant, saying, “I will move a grant of $59,705,” and described the standard grant-agreement process that follows town-meeting approval. Chair (S1) confirmed that $59,705 was requested from recreation funds and that there are broader balances in open-space and undesignated funds available for grants. The motion passed with a recorded voice vote and the committee announced the tally as 5 to 0 in favor.

Members said the project was a repeat recipient of CPC funds and that the grant agreement language can be written to specify terms and deliverables after the warrant articles are finalized. The committee will complete grant paperwork and return the agreement to the applicant once the town-meeting authorization and the committee's administrative steps are complete.
