Summary
The Board of Mayor and Burgesses voted unanimously at a special meeting to authorize $19,793,716 from the Burton Capital Reserve Account for a roof replacement and solar-panel installation at Naugatuck High School; the board recessed to executive session and later approved a contract adjustment with the grants director.
The Board of Mayor and Burgesses voted unanimously to authorize the use of $19,793,716 from the Burton Capital Reserve Account for a roof replacement and solar-panel installation at Naugatuck High School, the chair announced at a special meeting.
A council member explained the board had previously approved a not-to-exceed amount but said the state agency handling reimbursement required an exact dollar figure for the application. “They lost all our paperwork and we had to reconstruct the prior project and send them all the paperwork,” the council member said, recounting the board’s dealings with the state. He added that the state told the board, “Well, you got one you have to fix yourself. It has to have the exact number.”
After brief discussion, the chair called for a vote. Members voiced assent and the chair said the motion carried unanimously.
The board then recessed to an executive session at 6:05 p.m. to discuss personnel matters involving the grants director and pending litigation. The meeting reconvened at 6:20 p.m., and the chair moved that they be authorized to enter into a contract adjustment and extension with the grants director as discussed in executive session; the motion was seconded and approved.
