[Amended 7-13-2021]
The Daniel S. Anthony Fund, referred to herein as the "Anthony
Fund," is hereby reestablished as a fund to be held in trust by the
Town for the benefit and support of those in crisis, in accordance
with the wishes of Daniel S. Anthony, and all monies presently held
by the Town in the Anthony Fund as previously established shall be
deemed to be monies held by the Town in the Anthony Fund as reestablished
by this article.
All monies held in all accounts for the Community Assistance
Fund shall be transferred to the Anthony Fund, and the Community Assistance
Fund shall be deemed terminated upon completion of such transfer or
transfers.
The principal amount of the Anthony Fund shall be deemed to
be increased to the sum of $18,000.
[Amended 7-13-2021]
The income from the principal amount of the Anthony Fund shall
be available for use on an annual basis, and shall be used solely,
in support of those in crisis of the Town of Griswold.
The uses of the income from the Anthony Fund shall be determined
annually by a committee of three individuals, who shall be known as
the "Daniel S. Anthony Fund Committee" and who are referred to herein
as the "Committee." The Committee shall consist of the Town Treasurer,
the Senior Agent for the Elderly, and a representative of the Social
Services Department of the Griswold Public Schools, such representative
to be appointed by the Board of Education. In the event of any vacancy
in the three aforesaid positions, the Board of Selectmen may appoint
any elector of the Town of Griswold to serve as a member of the Committee
until such vacancy is properly filled.
The Committee shall meet each year on the first Monday of March
or on such other date as may be agreed upon by all members. The Town
Treasurer shall establish a reasonable time for such meeting. The
Committee may hold subsequent meetings as it may deem necessary or
appropriate. The Committee shall, at such meeting or meetings, designate
one or more uses for the annual income that will have accrued on the
principal of the Fund as of June 30 of the fiscal year in which the
Committee's annual meeting occurred, or should have occurred pursuant
to this article. Such income may be expended only in a subsequent
fiscal year. In the event the Committee fails, prior to June 30 of
any fiscal year, to agree on a use or uses for the income that accrued
on the Anthony Fund during such fiscal year, the Board of Selectmen
may designate a use or uses for such income, to be expended during
any subsequent fiscal year.
