Reporting on Village of Manlius Board of Trustee's Meeting

Bicentennial Committee member Lori Vendetti (Laurie Venditti) assembled a grant proposal to benefit the Manlius Farmer's Market.

The $100,000 grant, which does not require matching funds, would aid in the expansion of the existing market. If approved, she said there would be no time limit to use the funds. The catch? The application needed to be postmarked by April 15, so the board had to deliver a vote promptly.

After some discussion, the board motioned to accept the submission of the grant application, contingent on Village Attorney Jeff Brown reading the application thoroughly for no hidden obligations or commitments to the village to accept the grant. Additionally, the board would further discuss Vendetti's (Venditti's) plea for a 10 percent fee – only if the proposal should be granted – at a later date.
