“You applied for the loan and I didn’t know nothing about it…I’m asking you, how are we eligible for a PPP loan when we weren’t in any type of distress?” Manson asked the current BHFD commissioners and staff at the October meeting.
“Manson and I did not approve that”, said Massey-Green.
Finance director Errol Bartley explained at the meeting that
he decided to apply for the PPP loan due to concern tax collections in Bloomfield would be down due to the pandemic.
“I was acting in the best interests of the fire district, because that is what a finance director should do,” Bartley said.
