Motion passed. <br />The council voted on the FY'16 grant requests. <br />Attachment 1 (Declined FY'16 Grant Requests) is a record of the grants that were declined for funding for FY 16. A <br />motion was made by Patty to decline funding for the grants listed on Attachment 1 as a whole. Second by Sarah. <br />Motion passed. <br />Attachment 2 (Funded FY'16 Grant Requests) is a record of the grants that were approved for funding for FY'16. Each <br />application was voted on individually. <br />Letters of Decline will go out November 9, 2015.

This is problematic since another town resident's application was declined because we were not seeking new <br />members at this time. After discussion, it was agreed that Barbara would ask Rodney to delay his appointment until <br />January, when this grant cycle is completed. Barbara is also going to consult with the Selectmen about how our council <br />works, how we are governed and request to be included in the selection process when new members are being <br />recruited for appointment to the council. <br />Meeting adjourned at 11:25 <br />Respectfully Submitted by: Sarah Daley <br />
