Mayor Neal to meet Rep. Winslow after HB183 imposed $18,901.67 in unbudgeted costs, he says
Summary
Mayor Neal told the council House Bill 183 resulted in $18,901.67 in unbudgeted costs to Louisburg; he said he will meet Representative Winslow to seek reimbursement and better state-municipal consultation.
In his mayoral report, Mayor Neal said the town incurred $18,901.67 in unbudgeted costs as a direct result of House Bill 183 and that he will meet Representative Winslow to seek reimbursement and improved communication between state legislators and municipal governments.
"As you know, this legislation resulted in $18,901.67 in unbudgeted cost to our town," Mayor Neal said. He said his goals for the meeting are to pursue reimbursement for the documented costs, advocate for improved consultation before future legislation that affects municipalities, and discuss the town's infrastructure and public-safety priorities.
The mayor said Councilman Stover will accompany him to the meeting with Representative Winslow at the Legislative Building and that he will report back to the council about the outcomes. The transcript does not record Representative Winslow's office response; the mayor said he had received a reply and scheduled a meeting.
Next steps: the mayor and Councilman Stover will meet with Representative Winslow and return to the council with a report on any commitments or remedies offered.
