Selectmen authorize Town Administrator to sign EPA cleanup grant and accept EMPG amendment

Fran Shippee moved that Alissa Thompson, the Town Administrator, be authorized to sign EPA Cleanup Grant paperwork for the duration of the project; Mary Ewell seconded the motion and it passed unanimously.

The board also voted to accept an amendment to the Emergency Management Performance Grant that changed the period of performance dates from August 31, 2024 to August 31, 2026, and authorized the Town Administrator to sign that grant paperwork for the duration of the project. The motion to accept the amendment was seconded by Gary Winn and passed unanimously.

Both actions delegate signature authority to the Town Administrator so staff can execute grant agreements and comply with project timelines. The motions as recorded do not specify matching local funding obligations; staff will proceed with grant paperwork as authorized.
