  1. Election of Chair – acting Chair Judy Wilkinson elected unanimously

  3. Chair declared this a working session and asked any who joined via Zoom to remain on mute and be observers only
  4. The Council reviewed, deliberated, and voted on the 38 applications submitted
  5. The 38 were resolved into 26 approved and 12 declined.
  6. The funds available ($5424) were divided between the 26 approved proposals and equaled about $200/each.
  7. The 26 were each awarded $200 and then the list was reviewed for proposals to which the Council might award more. Consideration was given to a Stockbridge connection; e. g., event takes place in Stockbridge or is presented by a Stockbridge organization or person or benefits Stockbridge residents and other factors
  8. Council members who had any relationship with an applicant were careful to recuse themselves
  9. The list of approved proposals and the amounts awarded cannot be published now. Those who were declined must be informed and two weeks must elapse for them to contest the decision. Then the list of approved proposals and the amounts awarded will be announced in a press release from the Council

Stockbridge Updates: Format

SU is attempting to present a consistent format for readers. SU begins with its Table of Contents. The SU Editorial is next and then the News. News is divided between one-time events, such as the election and events around town, and recurring reporting, such as the Notes from… section. It is called Notes from… because SU attends the town meetings, takes notes, and reports what happened. If SU has a comment or question, it is at the end of the meeting identified as Editor’s Comment or Editor’s Question. The next section is Contributors. Under contributors, you may find Stockbridge history, opinion pieces, or information from a Committee Chair or elected official. Our final section is Reader to Reader, our letter section. The issue closes with the SU Statement of Purpose and Policy for Contributors. We welcome all letter writers and contributors; deadline on the 10th for the issue posted on the 15th of the month and on the 26th for the issue posted on the first.

Your Submissions Welcome!
