Administrator flags possible misallocation in ARPA/SLFRF bookkeeping; pauses additional spending

Sep 14, 2026

The town administrator reported possible misclassification of SLFRF (ARPA) obligations and recommended pausing further ARPA expenditures until she checks records with VLCT and NEMREC; about $90,000 still must be expensed by Dec. 2026, she said.

The full story

The town administrator (speaker 7) told the Selectboard she reviewed prior ARPA/SLFRF paperwork and found obligations that may have been reported differently in the spreadsheet left by a previous administrator. She said the packet shows $263,009.92 listed under a personnel line and that roughly $90,000 still needs to be expensed by Dec. 2026.
