The committee approved a resolution to provide culvert and bridge aid to the Town of Farmington.
Supervisor Grama moved the resolution and Supervisor Mikulik seconded it. Scott, a county staff member, explained the request and fund status: the town submitted its first request in June 2023 but funds were not available in that budget cycle; the request was delayed until the 2024–25 budget became effective. Scott said the project’s cost exceeded the town’s original estimate and that the town sought $23,008.23 from the culvert and bridge fund.
Scott said the fund balance at the time of discussion was a little over $50,000 and that the program typically budgets about $100,000 per year (roughly $200,000 per two‑year budget cycle). He said recent requests have caused the fund to draw down but that staff will contact municipalities to collect projected needs ahead of future allocations.
Supervisor Grama made the motion and Supervisor Mikulik seconded. The committee approved the resolution by voice vote; the meeting record does not include a roll‑call tally.
No additional conditions or amendments were recorded in the meeting minutes; Scott said the county’s GIS and inspection app help towns inventory culverts and plan future work.
