Board updates CIF grant application to reflect $12.6 million projected cost for emergency services facility
Summary
Selectmen authorized revising a previous CIF grant resolution from about $10 million to $12.6 million after staff recalculated total project cost with contingencies; the action updates grant application materials, not a debt authorization.
The Willington Board of Selectmen voted to revise a previously drafted grant resolution so the town’s CIF (Capital Improvement Fund) application for a new emergency services facility reflects a total project cost of $12.6 million, up from the earlier figure of roughly $10 million.
Staff and the board described the adjustment as an update to application materials to capture contingency amounts and formula-based line items that increased the total project estimate. First Selectman emphasized that this action authorizes the revised figure for the grant application only; it is not an authorization to borrow or spend funds without future appropriation processes.
Board members noted that CIF applications often produce feedback that improves later rounds of submission. The selectmen approved the revision so the project can be listed with the updated budget numbers in the application material that goes to grant reviewers.
No formal funding commitment was made at the meeting; follow-up budget and finance review will occur as required by the town’s capital planning procedures.
