Summary
The finance committee approved an order authorizing the mayor to apply for state low-interest loans and grants to fund PFAS water-treatment and removal work; staff described the item as a routine renewal and substitution of applicant authority.
The Woburn finance committee voted to authorize the mayor to pursue state funding for PFAS water-treatment and removal, approving an order that allows the city to apply for low-interest loans and grants related to a one-time PFAS water-treatment addition.
City staff described the item as a renewal of previously approved authority and said it enables participation in state funding programs designed to assist municipalities with PFAS mitigation. The presentation noted that the order is largely procedural and includes substituting the current staff applicant name for the mayor when executing paperwork. Councilors asked no substantive questions; the committee approved the order by voice vote.
The committee recorded the vote as carrying; staff will proceed with applications and necessary agreements to access the state's funding mechanisms for PFAS treatment. No funding amounts were discussed on the record.
