Title
The Council will review and discuss Watershed Protection grant applications.
Body
The budget for fiscal 2016-2017 includes $10,000 for watershed protection grants (account 1150-44070) to be made by the Council. Five applications for funds were received and are attached. Approval of grant awards is currently scheduled for the meeting of March 14, 2017.
The Council will review the applications for watershed protection funding in the following order and approximate times:
• 7:15 p.m. Collins Pond Improvement Association
• 7:45 p.m. Little Sebago Lake Association
• 8:15 p.m. Presumpscot Regional Land Trust (formerly Windham Land Trust)
• 8:45 p.m. Highland Lake Association
• 9:15 p.m. Forest Lake Association
Applicants have been informed that they may - but are not required or expected to - make presentations and/or have representatives present to answer questions. Any presentation should be limited to not more than ten (10) minutes. Not being present or not making a presentation will not be counted against an applicant per se, though being able to answer any questions that night is preferable to having to follow up afterward.
Times are approximate and are intended to leave about 5 minutes between applications.
