The Environmental Protection Agency is going to help Wareham pay for some new school buses.

Town Administrator Derek Sullivan told Selectmen Tuesday night that Director of Municipal Maintenance David Menard had successfully applied for a $230,000 grant to purchase some new buses for the town’s fleet and to rehab others.

The money, he said, was a national “clean diesel grant” from the EPA.

Earlier this year, responsibility for maintaining and repairing the aging school bus fleet was transferred from the School Department to Municipal maintenance. Sullivan said the grant was just further proof of the good job Menard is doing in handling the new work.

Other business at Tuesday’s Seletmen’s meeting included:

Appointments. William Heaney, a former Finance Committee chair, was appointed to the Audit Committee.

Kaye Naylor was appointed to the Historical Commission. A longtime educator and principal in Foxborough, Naylor moved to Onset in 2013 after purchasing and repairing a “fixer upper.” In brief remarks to Selectmen, she said she was interested in community affairs and in geneology. In her family, she said she has traced things back to the year 1232.

Streetlights. With a smile on his face, Sullivan reported receiving “our first complaint that the streetlights were too bright.” After months of hearing complaints about dysfunctional streetlights and recent work to repair a number of those, it was a complaint he didn’t mind hearing.

Manufactured homes and 40B. Selectmen Peter Teitelbaum reported testifying at a legislative hearing in Boston in favor of Wareham’s “home rule petition” to be allowed to count manufactured homes as affordable housing for the purposes of the state’s 40B law.

Counting mobile homes as affordable housing would let Wareham meet the state’s quota of having 10 percent affordable housing, thus closing the door on developers who are allowed to build in violation of some local bylaws if a portion of the new housing is designated affordable.

“They seemed genuinely interested,” Teitelbaum said of legislators.
