//I
The Committee felt very strongly that the West Side Benevolent Circle should receive a
grant in the amount of $25,000. However, the necessary documentation for what the
funds would be used for was not provided, other than an estimated cost of the whole
project. Our policy is that funds are for a specific purpose, and a quote or estimate for
that purpose is submitted with the grant request from a business on their letterhead.
That being said, we would ask the Select Board to either wave this policy, and allow
WSBC to spend the funds as part of the total large project, or allow WSBC additional
time to provide the necessary documentation.
Motion to adjourn made by Jackie, seconded by Terry Approved 5-0.
Meeting adjourned at 1:49PM.
