Warden stated that she could just pull up word in the computer and fix the letter before the meeting was over, Mr. Harrington felt that they wanted to be involved with this because the first disbursement was $780,000.00. They wanted to be a part of this so that they could get the training for it.

Mr. Santos stated that this was also why a lot of the towns were i scrambling to have an emergency preparedness plan because if they have major catastrophe in town without a plan in place. The state could come in and fine them for not having it. Dr. Mantel stated that that was why he had been working with Mr. John Lees at the police department to put together this plan two weeks ago. The state had threatened to take away the grant money they had already received. Each department had been asked to give their own implementation plan. The corrected letter was reviewed and signed by the board members that were present. 4. House condemnation - 252 Wheeler Road 2
