Council approves contract with New England Construction for police station

The Foster Town Council convened on July 10, 2025, to address several key agenda items, including the approval of a contract for the police station and discussions on public safety funding.

The meeting commenced with a review of the contract with New England Construction for the police station. After confirming that all necessary amendments had been made and the documentation was in order, a motion was made to approve the signing of the contract. The motion received a second, and following a brief discussion, it was unanimously approved by the council members present. The council expressed eagerness to begin construction, with inquiries about when work would commence.

Moving to old business, the council discussed the allotment of funds for public safety. However, due to potential conflicts of interest—specifically, the presence of council members affiliated with local fire stations—the decision was postponed. A motion was made to continue this discussion to the next meeting, scheduled for August 14, 2025, to ensure proper voting procedures could be followed.

The meeting concluded with a transition to new business, although specific details on this agenda item were not provided in the transcript. Overall, the council's discussions reflected a commitment to advancing public safety initiatives while adhering to procedural integrity.
