Correcinadvertently reported in last week’s Newscaster that the vote for the Inglis
tion
It was
FRDAP Grant application for the South Inglis Ave property failed. Mayor Bill Lake said
that the grant(s) passed. Writing reports from the town’s recorded tapes always has been a
problem for many reasons...people speaking off mike, noise, blanks spots in the tape.
Sally Price has listened to this section of the 4 hours worth of tapes over 20 times
and all the tapes over 16 hours. With three people talking over each other, it is totally con-
fusing and it appears that the proper facts were not voted on and should be reconsidered.
The first two separate agenda items were lumped into one vote. Commissioner
Mosher confirmed with Mayor Lake before the vote that a house was included in the grant
(there is no house). It was rushed saying there was a deadline of July 22nd to apply or lose
the grant (due in the fall) and Mayor Lake pushing to go ahead and vote now because we
probably won’t get it. Commissioner Kellman responded “that is why we get into trouble -
apply for money and all of a sudden it is a done deal.” Commissioner Kellman called for a
public workshop. Check The Newscaster website: http://thenewscaster.com this week for
a full transcript of the conversations in question.
