Council approves K-9 grant, accepts tax redemption and funds pool demolition
Summary
Old Town council accepted a late tax redemption payment, approved a $32,000 K-9 startup grant and authorized asbestos and sprinkler removal for pool demolition; motion details and fund sources were provided during the meeting.
The Old Town City Council approved several routine but immediate actions on Nov. 3, taking votes on a tax redemption payment, a police K-9 grant and pool demolition expenses.
Late redemption: The council resolved to accept a late redemption payment for property taxes on 777 Stillwater Ave., lot 35. The resolution text lists a total amount of $2,992.59, which the council recorded and approved without further amendment.
K‑9 grant: The council accepted a $32,000 grant to start a K‑9 unit for the Old Town Police Department. Councilor White moved adoption and Councilor Carol seconded. The police chief told the council the grant is intended to cover startup costs over the first three years, with ongoing veterinary and maintenance costs expected to be handled through future grants and normal operating funds.
Pool demolition expenses: The council approved asbestos remediation ($4,940) and sprinkler-system removal ($2,500) in the pool demolition project. The meeting record states funds will come from the pool repair account (account number 09517305640) and that approximately $2,500 will remain in that account after these expenses.
All three items were approved during the meeting; the recovery of any remaining obligations or future funding needs was not resolved at this session.
