Westerly council allocates $14,957.89 in ARPA funds to Russell Ambulance Corporation, Inc.
Summary
The council approved an American Rescue Plan Act allocation of up to $14,957.89 to Russell Ambulance Corporation, Inc.; the resolution was moved, seconded and approved during the same meeting that advanced a DEM‑funded soil testing contract.
The Westerly Town Council voted to allocate American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds to Russell Ambulance Corporation, Inc., in an amount not to exceed $14,957.89.
The motion was moved by Councilor Petra and seconded by Councilor Corteo; councilors approved the resolution by voice vote. The council discussed the item immediately after suspending rules to consider both new‑business items in the same meeting block.
No detailed breakdown of exactly how the Russell Ambulance funds will be spent was provided during the discussion; the motion passed without amendment. The council also discussed a separate, informal request for youth‑sports assistance during the meeting and the town manager noted an existing annual subsidy program (historically about $5,000) that teams may apply for.
The resolution recorded the ARPA allocation amount and the council took no action at the meeting to further specify the vendor accounting or reporting schedule.
