A
All
right
good
evening,
it
is
wednesday
I
almost
said
tuesday,
wednesday
september
1st.
This
is
the
town
of
groton,
long
term
recovery
committee,
members
present
granitoski
myself,
mr
burt
counselors,
obrie,
bordellon
and
baumgardner,
ms
harkin
and
mr
bronk
from
planning
and
development
services,
human
services,
director,
fonduelas
and
state.
Senator
summers
is
with
us,
so
thank
you,
everybody
for
being
with
us.
We
have
somebody
else
here.
A
A
C
A
A
Eight
voting
seventh
favor,
none
opposed
one
abstention,
all
right
great!
Thank
you,
representative
connolly.
We
just
approved
the
minutes
and
we
are
just
starting
item
number
four,
which
is
new
business.
Thank
you
for
joining
us,
so
we
are
on
to
new
business
for
orpah
allocation
and
distribution
process.
There
is
an
emotion
right
now.
I
don't
believe
so.
Mr
bird,
I'm
going
to
turn
it
over
to
you,
because
you
sent
some
information
out
to
everybody
unless
you
want
to
turn
it
over
to
your
team.
F
A
G
H
F
Okay,
so
this
is
so
that
was
the
blue
phase
that
I
was
just
talking
about
the
first
phase,
the
needs
assessment
phase,
one
then
the
phase
two
is
to
take
everything
that
we
hear,
which
we're
already
doing
we
have.
I
think
I
distributed
to
the
the
group,
a
listing
of
everything,
we've
heard
so
far
and
then
prioritize
categorize,
that
into
what
we're,
calling
the
buckets
and
then
take
those
buckets
and
and
prioritize
them
according
to
a
criteria.
F
So
if
we
can
create
some
kind
of
not
not
complicated
criteria
of
things,
we
want
to
see,
like
you
know,
projects
that
benefit
the
public,
for
example,
versus
just
one
private
citizen,
that's
just
an
example.
So
then,
from
there
we
would
finalize
the
funding
strategy
and
allocate
the
funding
to
buckets.
F
And
then,
once
they've
approved
the
funding
we
could
give
those
grant
awards
out
and
those
sub
recipient
awards
would
get
out
on
the
street.
You
know
we.
We
were
kind
of
thinking
that
you
know
just
preliminarily
thinking
that
projects
where
you're
you're
giving
funds
directly
to
someone
like
rent
assistance,
for
example,
it
would
likely
be
filtered
through
a
larger
organization
and
they
would
be
the
sub
grant
recipient
one.
And
then,
if
it's
a
town
department,
we
may
not
call
them
a
sub
recipient,
they're,
really
part
of
us.
F
A
So,
as
far
as
like
a
town
department,
because
there's
already
people
that
are
floating
ideas
for
spending
the
money
right
and
if
it's
a
town
department
that
would
be
overseeing
a
project
right,
how
does
that
fit
with
budget?
And
I
don't
know-
maybe
that's
a
director
landry
question.
So
if,
if
say,
for
example,
somebody
wanted
to
do
a
project
that
would
normally
be
a
cip
for
the
town,
but
they
wanted
to
use
arca
funding.
A
F
I'll
just
answer
what
I
know
out
of
it
and
then
maybe
john
can
jump
in
or
page,
and
I
would
say
that
the
application
we'd
want
the
town
departments
to
fill
that
out
so
that
we
have
an
outline-
and
I
can,
when
I
walk
through
the
application,
you'll
see
what
kind
of
information
we're
looking
for,
so
that
we
can
track
these
things
a
little
better.
But
the
way
the
the
financing
is
work.
That's
that's
not
my
my
ballpark.
E
E
B
And
this
is
john
and
as
I've,
given
this
some
thought
after
you
get
through
that
process
and
funds
are
awarded,
you
would
have
to
be
put
in
the
cip
list.
So
once
the
funding's
there
you
would,
you
can
do
a
mid-budget.
Does
that
be
through
the
budget
process,
but
it
would
have
to
go
through
the
you
know,
approved
by
the
council,
approved
by
the
rtm,
to
be
on
that
cip
list,
and
I
imagine
we're
gonna
have
a
probably
several
of
those.
A
Okay,
so
the
the
town
department
that
would
normally
be
the
overseer
of
said
cip,
would
apply
through
this
process
that
planning
and
development
services
is
working
on
right
now.
It
would
be
approved
through
this
process,
and
then
it
would
also
then
be
placed
to
go
through
a
normal
town.
Funding
approval
is
that
what
you
just
said.
A
B
H
B
Will
be
covered
when
the
when
the
rtm
approves
the
a
you
know,
it'll
be
a
plan
that
rtm
will
approve
the
acceptance
of
the
grant
and
plan
within
the
on
top
of
that.
If
there's
cips
and
certain
things
that
have
to
be
put
in
a
particular
like
be
put
in
the
cip
plan,
that'll
also
likely
come
to
the
rtm.
D
Yeah
I
mean
I,
I
would
hope
that
it
would
be
less
rubber,
stamping
by
the
rtm
and
that
we
could
engage
in
the
substantively.
I
mean
you're
spending
money
on
some
kind
of
software
to
tap
into
what
the
town
of
groton
wants.
Well,
I
have
41
town
members
who
are
seated
on
the
rtm
and
are
probably
among
your
most
engaged
town
members.
So
to
not
allow
them
an
opportunity
to
weigh
in
on
this,
I
think,
would
be
a
mistake.
A
So
would
would
the
the
green
step,
if
you
will
town
council
approval
and
allocation
referral
resolution
through
town
council
process,
would
that
I
assume
that
was
referencing
normal
charter
processes
and
it
would
go
then
through
whatever
we
do
and
then,
if
it's
over
and
then
it's
going
to
go
to
rtm.
So
that's
where
I
saw
it
in
there,
but
I
understand
if
we
need
to
make
reference
to
that,
I
think
that
would
be
appropriate
to
add
it.
I
think
that
would
be
the
step
where
it
would
be.
A
F
A
A
G
B
G
B
We
we
kind
of
need
to
figure
out
what
we
want
to
do
for
outreach
set
some
timelines
on
that,
because
it
you
know,
if
we
only
do
one
thing
a
month,
it'll
be
you
know
it's
going
to
be
I
in
my
mind
it's
been
much
dictated
by
that
input
process.
What
do
you
think
tabitha
and
paige
it'd
be
a
pretty
wild
guess
at
this
point
we
could
put
something
together,
but
I
think
we'd
have
to.
E
B
E
I
think
that
I
think
the
the
input
the
public
input
is
the
largest
limiting
factor
depends
on
how
long
that
is
going
to
be
open,
how
many
meetings
we're
going
to
have
and
when
we
get
a
pretty
good
sense.
Basically,
that's
the
needs
assessment,
as
was
stipulated
in
the
flow
chart.
Once
we
have
a
pretty
good
sense
on
what
we
believe
these
buckets
are
going
to
be,
then
I
believe,
we'll
have
a
better
sense
on
when
we
can
actually
come
up
with
a
time
frame
to
release
the
application.
G
I
guess
what
I'm
saying
here
is
is
I
think
this
is
a
great
starting
point,
but
I
think
to
get
funding
in
the
hardest
hit
areas
that
we
need
right
away
it.
We
need
to
start
targeting
how
and
so
like.
You
know,
the
needs
assessment
phase
ones.
What
do
you
think
weak
when
like?
When?
Are
you
thinking
of
finalizing
the
strategy?
G
When
are
you
planning
to
pray
preliminary
town
council
like
moving
towards
that,
because
then
you
can
start
to
visualize
the
opening
of
the
grant
application
right
now
we
don't
really
have
a
targeted
process
on
that
and
my
concern
is,
as
we
don't
have
dates,
even
public
or
an
idea
or
a
ballpark
on
any
of
these
phases.
Yet
we
start
to
lose
time
and
ground
to
get
appropriate
funding
where
it
needs
to
go,
so
we
should
at
least
have
dates
for
the
first
three
starts
of
this.
G
A
So
I'm
gonna,
I'm
gonna,
jump
in
here
and
say
the
point
of
us
talking
about
it
tonight
is
to
say:
yes,
we
like
this,
and
once
we
say
yes,
we
like
this,
then
staff
can
say
okay,
they
like
it
we're
going
to
do
this
on
this
state
this
on
this
day
this
on
this
day.
So
I
the
way
I'm
understanding
this
is.
We
have
to
tell
them.
Yes,
this
is
good
and
then
they
can
start
putting
in
the
time
parameters.
G
I
think
that's
a
great
great
plan.
I
just
hope
that
those
time
parameters
going
to
come.
I
think
we
should
be
part
of
that
discussion,
because
I
do
not
want
to
see
an
extension
of
time
and
lapse
in
and
fun
sitting
and
not
being
allocated.
So
I
is
that
going
to
be
at
the
next
meeting.
Do
you
think
dates
or
where?
Where
are
we
at
with
that?.
A
Let's
see
if
we
like
this
approach,
first,
okay,
let's:
let's
figure
out
if
this
is
what's
good,
so
is
there
any
objection
to
the
flow
chart
as
it
stands,
and
then
we
could
work
on
dates
so
like
if
people
think
that
we
should
not
be
doing
the
preliminary
town
council
discussion
at
all.
If
we
should
skip
the
town
council
or
you
know
whatever-
I'm
just
being
facetious
at
this
point,
but
if
there's
a
step
we're
going
to
skip
or
if
you
think
something
should
be
in
a
different
order.
A
That's
the
first
discussion
we
need
to
have
and
then
once
we
have
that
discussion,
then
they
will
say:
okay,
we
can
do
it
in
this
number
of
days
this
number
of
weeks
and
then
we
can
proceed
with
the
other
things.
So,
mr
burr,
do
you
have
any
further
comment
on
that,
or
is
that
how
you
saw
the
process
moving
forward?
Did
you
have
a
different
idea.
A
E
E
This
committee
talked
about
immediate
needs
and
can
we
do
like
an
immediate
need
type
bucket
and
that
that
is
certainly
possible
if
we
knew
that
there
was
something
we
had
to
deal
with
right
now.
I
think
that
is
possible,
but
focus
was
to
apply
some
some
rational
planning
to
this.
So
we
can
make
sure
that
we're
going
to
invest
these
funds
the
best
way
we
can
because
we're
going
to
receive
more
than
in
requests
we're
going
to
receive
more
than
what
we
have
in
hand.
A
B
D
D
If
you
want,
but
there
need
to
be,
you
know
tangible
criteria
that
people
are
going
to
review
the
applications
on
with
a
metric
and
a
process,
for
you
know,
grading
them
and
then
another
process
for
collating
the
review
panel
into
one
score.
So
you
can
rank
these
relative
to
each
other
again,
it's
just
you
know.
These
are
actual
steps
that
need
to
be
fleshed
out,
and
so
I
don't
see
those
criteria,
but
those
are
super
important
in
this.
B
Two
things
one
norfolk
dollars
are
being
spent
on
software,
that's
being
purchased
internally
and
we're
working
with
the
city
to
jointly
share
that
software.
But
on
top
of
that
we
have
been
talking
just
internally
about
those
more
detailed
things
starting
that
process.
This
is
really
a
very
broad
overview.
Really
all
we
want
to
do
is
get
the
public
input
started.
You
know,
because
that,
because
that's
going
to
take
a
long
time
and
the
longer
you
know,
if
we
wait
another
month,
it's
going
to
be
yeah
another
month.
F
G
Thank
you.
I
can
agree
with
moderator
evan
on
her
assessments.
I
also
can
appreciate
that
we
did
start
to
move
things
for
legislate
health
district,
but
also
I
agree
that
we
should
also
maybe
have
an
emergency,
possibly
category
or
something
here
where
we're
looking
to
kind
of
maybe
advance
certain
sections,
maybe
a
little
bit
faster
than
this
module
or
these
this
grid.
G
I
can
appreciate
the
fact
that
there
are
no
dates
on
here,
as
was
stated
because
you
feel
that
this
is
just
an
overview,
but
for
me
to
approve
this
in
its
entirety,
it
would
be
helpful
to
have
ballpark
ideas,
because
my
approval
of
each
of
these
steps,
I'm
just
hoping
that
the
range
of
time
between
them
is
not
a
large
gap.
So,
and
if
that
was
the
case,
then
I
might
say
we
might
want
to
merge
this
step
and
shorten
that
step.
G
I
F
A
A
G
A
B
Just
again,
as
we
do
some
of
these
preliminary
ones,
you
know,
as
we
brought
like
we
brought
in
the
outside
agencies,
and
we
we
want
to
fast
track.
Some
of
that
get
some
of
these
groups
together
and
you
know
to
speak
with
them.
That'll
probably
give
us
the
idea
of
where
the
actual
emergencies
are.
As
of
this
point,
we've
addressed
the
two
emergencies.
Now,
someone
like
human
services
marge
may
end
up
having
some
things
she
comes
across.
B
I
can
see
having
a
pop
for
things
like
that,
but
that's
that
we
have
to
figure
out
a
little
more
too.
No
money
can
be
released
even
to
legislator
cocktails,
though
we
get.
Some
of
these
details
figured
out
and
tracking,
but
I
think
soon
we'll
have
a
better
idea
of
emergency
funds
needed,
but
I
don't
know
if
we're
quite
there
yet,
but
I
do
it's
a
priority,
though,.
A
Okay,
so
chairperson
watson,
we
are
looking
at
the
process
that
ms
harkin
and
mr
bronk
have
come
up
with
as
far
as
allocating
funds,
and
it's
displayed
on
screen
right
now
and
we're
just
trying
to
come
to
consensus
as
to
whether
this
is
the
process
we
want
to
go
forward
with
so
feel
free
to
have
any
any
questions
or
comments
to
to
raise
your
hand
and
jump
into
the
discussion.
Does
anyone
else
have
any
comments
on
this
or
concerns?
Let's
go
concerned,
counselor
aubry.
C
C
I
think
we
can
follow
it,
but
until
we
really
have
our
needs
assessment
out
there
phase
one
and
phase
two
we're
not
really
going
to
know
what
the
community
wants.
So
I
think
expediting
those
would
be
excellent
and
I
think
the
other
things
will
will
be
expedited
as
well.
So
I
think
this
is.
This
is
great.
It's
put
it
in
my
mind
the
right
way
and
I
think
it
will
with
other
people.
So
thank
you.
Tabitha.
B
J
F
I'll
take
that
one
so
yeah.
Yes,
we
are
going
to
be
doing
a
survey,
we're
actually
doing
even
kind
of
more
than
a
survey,
because
we're
using
this
being
the
table
platform,
which
is
very
participatory
website
kind
of
thing
where
you
it's
a
community
and
and
there's
all
sorts
of
ways
to
there's
participatory
budgeting.
You
know
where
people
can
kind
of
put
money
towards
things
that
they
think
are
important.
So
we
can
list
some
examples
and
also
have
open-ended
questions.
F
So
we
do
see
it
that
way
and
also
I
just
wanted
to
say
that
you
know
phase
one
and
two
are
very
much
a
virtual
engagement
program
because
of
covid
we
can't
really
have
live
in-person
public
meetings
which
we
wanted
to
have.
We
wanted
to
have
something
where
we
have
sticky
notes
and
dots,
and
you
know,
have
people
really
engaging
in
things.
So
what
being
the
table
does?
Is
it
brings
that
online
that
the
kind
of
participatory
thought
provoking
engaging
action?
J
All
right
it
it
it
doesn't,
it
doesn't,
but
I
am
just
actually
wondering
what
are
we
doing
for
families
that
don't
have
necessarily
web
access
or
that
that
can
do
that
on
devices
that
are
that
are
too
small
a
night,
because
my
concern
is:
is
that
how
are
we
reaching?
You
know
our
members
of
the
community
that
don't
have
technology
savvy
or
they
don't
have
access
to
that
type
of
technology.
That
would
allow
us
to
do
that.
J
I
do
understand
that
we're
in
a
pandemic-
and
I
do
understand
that
you
know
currently
with
the
surge.
It
will
be
difficult
and
I'm-
and
I
don't
I'm
not
coming
here
with
saying
this-
is
an
answer.
I'm
just
saying:
I'm
wondering
how
we
are
thinking
about
reaching
those
those
the
the
those
members
of
our
of
our
community
that
may
not
have
access.
A
And
I
want
to
add
one
thing
before
you
answer,
because
you
can
it
kind
of
relates
to
this.
Is
the
the
platform
you're
talking
about?
Is
it
in
any
way
limited
by
numbers
of
participants,
or
is
it
unlimited?
So
we
could
get
all
the
rtm
all
the
council,
all
the
board
of
ed
and
a
big
chunk
of
the
public
in
or
is
it
limited
in
any
way.
F
It's
not
limited
in
any
way.
It's
it's
really
interesting
to
see
it
in
action,
and
I
think
it'd
be
great.
If
we
could
follow
up
sometime
and
see
an
example
of
it,
I
could
send
a
couple.
Actually
I
could
send
some
links
out
to
the
the
committee
and-
and
they
could
see
examples
of
it
in
action,
but
to
answer
your
question
about
participation
in
the
digital
divide
as
they
call
it.
F
We
have
really
talked
about
this
a
lot
and
we
are
hoping
to
do
things
like
a
kiosk
at
the
senior
center
or
a
kiosk
at
the
community
center
we've
talked
about.
You
know:
flyering
traditional
forms
of
getting
information
out
to
smaller
targeted
groups,
but
it's
also
very
true
that
the
digital
divide
is
is
not
as
much
of
an
issue
these
days.
Everyone
has
a
phone
and
what
we
did
when
we
reviewed
these.
These
vendors
was
to
see
how
these
things
display
on
a
phone
and
make
sure
that
it
was
really
simple.
You
know.
A
I
Digital
divide
and
just
echo
her
comments
that
there
are
many
folks
seniors
folks
with
children
who
don't
have
the
same
access.
That's
those
of
us
who
are
currently
on
zoom
clearly
have
figured
it
out
by
now,
but
as
we've
seen
in
the
state,
there
are
a
lot
of
folks
who
just
don't
have
the
access.
So
I
encourage
the
kiosk
to
have
documentation,
so
people
can
make
sure
everyone's
heard
appropriately.
I
I'm
not
documentation
like
advertisement
so
that
folks
know
where
to
go.
If
the
library
happens,
you
know
to
be
not
available
due
to
covet
or
if
the
town
hall
has
limited
hours
due
to
cover
directing
people
where
they
can
have
access
to
have
their
opinion
shared,
because
it's
so
important
that
we
have
public
input
with
this
money.
A
G
Yeah,
thank
you
also.
It's
just
really
important
that
minimum
at
least
dual
language
making
sure
that
this
survey
meets
those
needs.
I
say
minimum
dual
language.
I
wish
it
was
available
for
anybody
that
can
click
whatever
their
preference
is,
which
some
applications
and
things
are
moving
towards,
but
I
think
it's
important
that
the
applications
are
also
in
dual
language,
as
well
as
the
survey.
Also,
all
these
infrastructure
description,
just
directions
and
to
deadlines
as
well.
G
As
you
know,
a
lot
of
folks
who
speak
english,
you
know,
reading
and
comprehension
sometimes
come
second,
so
needing
maybe
help
filling
out
these
forms.
You
know
in
its
entirety
because
it
can
be
kind
of
complex,
so
the
understanding
and
knowledge
and
support,
and
even
for
people
who
do
speak,
english,
sometimes
there's
comprehension
or
other
disabilities.
That
present-
and
I
just
don't-
want
certain
sections
of
town
or
folks
to
be
under
pot.
You
know
under
serviced
or
or
not
or
not,
met
or
reached.
G
F
F
You
know
what
are
your
blue
sky
ideas
and
then
we
filter
things
into
buckets
with
this
committee
as
well,
and
then
go
back
out
to
the
public
and
say
these
are
the
major
categories
you
know
or
major
projects
out
of
these.
What
do
you
think?
Because
this
this
platform
is?
Is
it's
so
easy
to
do
that?
I
think
we
the
more
rounds
of
questions
it
kind
of
freshens
things
up
anyway,.
B
B
A
D
D
And
so,
when
you
think
about
developing
a
grant
application,
you
really
have
to
already
have
kind
of
kind
of
figured
out
how
you're
going
to
review
it,
because
you
want
you
want
all
that
information
in
your
application
anyway,
just
just
a
thought
on
how
to
amend
that
a
little
to
make
it
easier
at
the
the
end
part
of
it.
This
selection,
sorry,
I
don't
mean
to
beat
you
in
the
weedsy.
A
I
I
think
I'm
seeing
some
of
that,
but
although
I've
only
written
one
grant
in
my
lifetime
so-
but
I
think
I'm
seeing
some
of
that
in
the
application,
so
we'll
go
there
next,
it's
already
quarter
after,
but
what
I
wanted
to
do
was.
It
seems
like
we're
pretty
much
in
consensus
that
this
is
a
good
process
and
we'd
like
staff
to
move
ahead
with
it
is.
Is
that
correct?
A
Yes,
okay,
all
right
great,
mr
bird!
Is
that
all
you
need
from
us
right
because
we're
not
a
voting
body.
So
it's
the
consensus
of
the
long-term
recovery
committee
that
the
flow
chart
on
page
15
is
an
appropriate
way
to
proceed
at
this
point
with
the
with
the
noted
recommendations
that
we
have
here.
Okay,
so
then,
ms
harkin,
if
you'd
like
to
go
into
the
application
now,
please-
and
this
I
think-
starts
on
page
seven.
A
F
Mute,
so
I
really
appreciated
moderator,
evan's
comments
about
getting
the
criteria
into
the
application
and
I'd
like
to
think
about
that
a
little
bit
more
and
talk
to
her
about
that
too.
So
this
is
a
several
page
application.
It's
modeled
after
several
different
municipalities
that
I
looked
at
for
examples
of
grant
applications
of
this
type,
not
arpa
necessarily,
but
you
know,
community
development
type
types
of
grants,
so
basic
project
information.
It
starts
with
a
one
sentence:
whoops,
I'm
sorry.
B
F
Yes-
and
it
says,
draft
all
over-
definitely
so
once
a
sentence,
description
of
the
project
just
to
give
the
people
of
the
review
committee
a
quick
glance.
What
category
does
the
project
fall
under,
and
this
is
from
the
interim
final
rule,
the
the
categories
of
to
respond
to
the
public
health
emergency
or
its
negative
economic
impacts,
including
assistance
to
households,
small
businesses,
nonprofits
or
aid
to
impacted
industries
such
as
tourism,
travel
and
hospitality,
and
then
the
other
category
being
to
make
necessary
investments
in
water,
sewer
or
broadband.
F
And
then
it
goes
down
to
applicant
information.
So
you
have
a
town
department,
a
non-profit,
private
group
or
citizen
or
other
their
tax
id
number.
So
we
can
look
them
up
a
co-applicant
if,
for
example,
they
are
working
on
a
project
together,
a
budget
summary,
so
the
total
request
and
their
funding
request
and
then
later
on.
Oh,
my
formatting
was
offering
here
later
on,
there's
a
little
bit
more
information
on
a
budget
summary.
F
F
F
So
then
we
would
insert
a
funding
agreement
which
cindy
landry
and
I
have
been
discussing
to
have
a
very
clear
information
about
reporting
requirements,
for
example,
because
we
do
have
to
be
in
federal
compliance
and
there
are
reporting
standards.
It's
a
big
document
so
that
we
have
to
do
that
with
everyone.
F
So
there's
a
placeholder
for
that.
So
then
it
gets
into
the
questions.
We
have
the
project
narrative,
the
general
narrative
of
what
the
project
is,
the
scope
of
the
project
the
community
need.
So
this
gets
to
the
code
19
recovery,
the
you
know,
is
it
related
to
cobit
19.,
so
you
know
who's
it
serving.
How
does
the
project
benefit
the
public
and
I
think
that
gets
to
criteria
a
little
bit?
How
does
the
project
preserve
and
enhance
the
character
of
the
town?
F
How
does
the
project
address
the
recovery
in
response
to
federal
guidance?
You
know
specifically
the
the
final
rule,
then
there's
a
question
about
how
will
the
success
of
the
project
be
measured,
describing
the
outcomes
and
deliverables?
So
that's
what
we're
going
to
need
to
be
looking
for
in
the
reporting
critical
need.
So
this
is
where
it
we
would
find
out.
If
it's
an
emergency
project
like
council
borderland
was
talking
about
earlier.
F
Applicant
information,
so
this
is
describing
the
applicant
so
if
they're
a
public,
a
private
nonprofit,
an
individual,
a
partnership,
etc.
So
what's
the
history
and
background
so
that
we
can
get
to
know,
you
know,
for
example,
if
it's
a
small
business,
you
know
what
kind
of
business
it
is.
Is
it
and
how
long
have
you
been
in
business?
F
So
if
it
makes
sense
to
give
them
a
grant
project
feasibility
so
listing
and
explaining
further
actions
or
steps
required,
and
then
it
gets
into
final
information,
financial
information
so
describing
other
attempts
to
secure
funding
and
or
other
grants
that
the
applicant
has
currently
or
has
applied
for
because
sometimes
they're,
it's
conflicting.
If
you
have
another
federal
grant
you're
receiving
money
for
that,
you
can't
receive
more
money.
F
I'm
just
skimming
through
this
quickly
and
then
the
schedule
and
budget.
So
you
know,
what's
the
basic
project
schedule,
what's
the
50
completion
and
what
does
that
look
like
and
when
is
in
that's
good
for
us
to
be
able
to
follow
up?
You
know
at
those
milestones
we
can
call
them
and
say
how's
things
going
and
then
the
funding
sources
if
they
are-
and
you
know
they
might
not
use
one
of
two
of
these
columns.
E
Wanted
to
touch
on
the
last
number
10,
the
last
item.
There
has
been
significant
funding,
that's
been
allocated
over
the
past
several
months
and
it
comes
from
many
sources.
We've
got
ppp
money,
eidl
state
bridge
loan
monies.
Some
of
that
is
forgivable
loan.
Some
of
it
is
not,
and
I
think
there
have
been
other
local
sources
as
well.
A
G
E
I
was
just
going
to
say
this
is
our
first
attempt,
I
suppose,
to
work
with
the
honor
system
to
some
degree
we're
asking
them
as
a
part
of
their
request.
Have
you
received
other
funding?
I
actually
would
like
to
expand
it
beyond
federal
funding,
I'd
like
to
include
state
local,
non-profit
and
other,
mainly,
if
someone's
doing
a
project
and
they
are
receiving
funding
in
other
ways.
We
need
to
know
about
it
so
that
we're
not
providing
funding
to
something
that
they've
they've
already
secured
or
are
likely
to
secure.
G
So
I
just
want
to
understand,
make
sure
I
was
understanding
correctly,
so
a
same
agency
can
apply
for
funding
but
for
different
projects,
just
obviously
not
for
the
same
project.
So
maybe
a
question
that
states
have
you
received
any
funding
for
this
current
project
that
you're
requesting
and
sometimes
a
hard
yes
or
no,
and
then,
if
so,
please
explain
and
list
those
projects
that
hard
yes
or
no
gives
you
a
nice
hard
stop
and
then,
if
they
have
applied
for
other
things,
it
can
be
listed,
but
it's
not
pertaining
to
that
particular
project.
G
So
that's
just
one
thing
I
just
from
forms:
I've
dealt
with
yes
or
no.
Have
you
applied
for
anything
for
this
particular
project
can
kind
of
be
a
little
bit
more
targeted
on
the
question
might
be
helpful,
just
a
suggestion,
and
I
think
that
was
my
one
thing
and
then
at
what
point
were
we
be
talking
about
who's
sitting
to
review
these
applications
which
who's
going
to
be
on
the
review
boards?
For
these?
Is
that
going
to
be
another
discussion
another
day
or.
B
B
G
D
You,
madam
mayor
yeah,
I
you
know,
I
can
certainly
speak
with
tabitha
offline
on
this,
but
I
you
know,
following
up
on
what
counselor
borderline
was
saying,
I
think
you
can
also
look
at
things
like
leveraged
funding,
so
maybe
not
double
dipping,
but
what
are
they
bringing
to
it?
Are
there
other
funds
that
they're
using
to
make
the
project
even
bigger,
which
is
a
positive
thing,
not
necessarily
a
fraudulent
thing
that
can
be
envisioned.
So
you
know-
and
I
would
you
know
it's
very
common
to
ask
for
current
and
pending
grants.
D
You
know
so
have
you
received
this
or
have
you
applied
for
any
other
funding?
Please
list.
You
know
these
applications
that
are
active
now.
What
do
you
you
know
or
something
like
that,
so
you
can
know
that
they're
not
double
dipping
and
you
have
them
kind
of
list
those
all
there,
but
there's
other
things
like
you
can
ask
for
not
only
the
deliverables
which
I
think
I
saw
there.
D
I
think
you
want
a
lot
more
than
just
a
few
words
that
would
fit
in
that
and
kind
of
speaking
to
that,
I
would
encourage
you
at
the
beginning
to
set
parameters
on
the
grants
in
terms
of
page
length,
font
things
that
when
you
have
students
you
you
want
them
to
write
more,
but
sometimes
when
you
have
applicants,
you
want
them
to
write
less.
So
you,
you
would
probably
constrain
it.
D
H
F
A
I
have
just
two
questions,
so
the
application
will
have
town
departments
applying
through
this
as
well
the
schools.
If
there
is
going
to
be-
let's
say
there
was
a
joint
project
between
the
town
and
the
schools.
The
school's
money
itself
is
not
going
through
this
process.
Correct,
okay,
great!
So
then,
if
it
is
going
to
be
something
joint
or
if
it's
going
to
be
a
cip
that
we
would
be
doing,
we
being
the
town
would
be
doing,
that
is
on
a
school
property.
It
would
go
through
this
process,
though.
B
We
have
to
have
some
more
discussion.
I
think
on
that,
because
I
could
see
like
homeless
hospitality
center
they'd
likely,
you
know,
apply
to
multiple
places.
Now
the
other
thing
is,
there
might
be
some
place
that
puts
it
up
in
their
end
here
for
a
project
hoping
to
get
one
or
the
other.
Well,
if
we
say
they
applied
another
place,
I
think
there
should
be
some
discussion
of
hey.
Can
we
team
up
in
each
point
happen
to
accomplish
this
yeah.
B
A
All
right,
great,
so
yeah,
so
you
know
we
have.
We
have
certain
small,
relatively
small
businesses,
small
scale
operations
of
very
large
worldwide
businesses
located
in
town.
So
then
we'll
have
to
like
figure
out
if
we're
going
to
have
them
be
able
to
apply,
and
just
what
you
said.
Thank
you,
mr
burford.
E
Just
to
emphasize
what
mr
bird
had
just
said,
it
has
to
be
a
direct
benefit
to
the
town.
The
first
thought
I
thought
of
was
one
of
the
explicit
allowances
is
to
provide
for
tourism
and
mystic
is
clearly
a
hub
of
tourist
activity
and
the
mystic
chamber
of
commerce,
splits
both
groton
and
stonington.
So
in
that
type
of
example,
it
wouldn't
have
to
be
exclusive
to
groton
alone.
There
would
just
have
to
be
some
direct
benefit
to
crime.
H
I
Applications
to
receive
funding,
and
then
the
folks
who
will
then
be
reading
and
evaluating
the
applications
will
get
a
lot
more
concise
package,
hopefully
meeting
their
goals,
and
everyone
knows
what
the
goals
are.
Also,
if
folks,
who
will
be
thinking,
probably
folks,
will
be
on
the
team,
maybe
counselors
or
volunteers,
to
make
sure
that
training
is
included
for
them,
because
there
are
some,
certainly
with
grant
applications
a
lot
of
conflict
issues,
and
sometimes,
if
one
has
not
been
through
that
process
before
in
their
work,
we.
G
Yes,
so
just
looking
at
the
application,
I
was
just
reviewing
some
stuff
online.
If
an
agency
or
non-profit
was
in
the
process
applying
for
funds,
it
doesn't
mean
that
they're
going
to
be
approved,
so
could
one
then
I
mean
obviously
they're
trying
to
get
funding
so
they're,
not
double
dipping
necessarily.
But
if
there's
deadlines
and
hard
stops
on
applications,
it
would
make
sense
that
one
might
apply
for
multiple
grants
or
applications
for
funding
because
they're
trying
to
get
funding.
G
E
I
think
we're
going
to
have
to
go
back
and
look
at
that
section
again
we're
all
agreeing
here.
I
think
we
need
the
appropriate
language
that
simply
allows
the
town
to
understand
the
intent
as
to
whether
or
not
someone
will
be
seeking
funding
if
they
already
have
received
funding
we're
gonna
have
to,
I
think,
try
to
capture
that
best
at
that
particular
moment,
but
we're
all
talking
about
the
same
thing.
G
Right,
I
think
that
would
be,
I
think,
that's
a
great
answer
and
I
think
it
would
be
appropriate
just
so
that
people
don't
feel
discouraged
because
they're
in
the
application
process,
but
it
just
has
not
been
approved
yet
and
they
may
be
denied
and
this
this
application
may
be
one
that
they
can
get.
So
I
think
that's
great.
Thank
you.
D
That's
a
little
scary.
I
just
wanted
to
say
to
counselor
borderline
that
that's
why
what
the
current
impending
list
would
refer
to
so
you'd
ask
people
to
say
what
is
your
current
funding?
You
know
what
are
the
pending
grants
that
you've
submitted
and
because
we're
so
jointly
as
a
town
connected
with
the
city
of
granton,
you
might
just
have
a
single
like
a
yes
note.
A
Thank
you,
okay,
very
good.
Mr
bird.
Is
there
anything
else,
any
kind
of
consensus
that
further
consensus
that
you
need
from
this
body
before
we
move
on
all
right
great.
Thank
you
very
much.
So
that's
everything
on
the
agenda
for
this
evening.
When
do
you
need
us
back
for
another
meeting,
we
can
check
our
calendars
and.
