The financial path section said the town would seek and apply for grant funding in 2026, determine outcomes in 2027, fund the position through the budget process in 2028-2029, and hire and onboard the officer in 2029-2030. Decision state: discussed in the strategic plan.

Acting on pre-RFPs gives SLED and B2G vendors months of lead time to build relationships and shape requirements.
