Summary
At its April 7 meeting, the Dupont Town Board accepted a $28,517.23 Community Crossing Matching Grant award and approved Rejuv Tec to carry out the work, contracted FPBH for grant consulting and road assessments, and voted to have Jon Adams succeed Kevin Burnette as council president in June.
The Dupont Town Board voted April 7 to accept a $28,517.23 Community Crossing Matching Grant and to award the related construction bid to Rejuv Tec, Inc., the board said. Member Christine Dicken moved to approve the bid and Member Ford seconded the motion; the board carried it.
Clerk/Treasurer Robyn J. Meek presented the town's March 31 account balances before the action on the grant. The town checking balance was listed as $220,639.21, with notable fund balances including MVH Restricted $444,484.55 and CEDIT (LIT) $80,304.06. Meek also presented balances for the sewage checking account and several restricted funds.
The board also approved and signed an agreement with FPBH to provide consulting on CCMG grant applications and perform road assessments. Member Ford moved to approve the contract and Member Jon Adams seconded; the motion carried.
In personnel business, Council President Kevin Burnette told the board he is selling his house and will move to Madison but will remain in office until the June 10, 2025 meeting. Burnette moved to appoint Jon Adams as Town Council President effective June 10; Member Ford seconded and the board carried the motion. The board said future council vacancies will be filled through an application process.
Board members discussed sewage service expansion on the north side of the creek and options to serve a planned Dollar General store. The town will seek estimates from Percission and Dave O'Mara for a full sewer extension; if that proves unaffordable, the board said it will consider installing a 2-inch force main to serve only the Dollar General. The board also asked staff to check whether the existing force main work at the Trailer Court can be bored contemporaneously to reduce costs.
The board noted that fence posts have been installed along the Madison Railroad right-of-way and that the town attorney is preparing the agreement and easement. Officials said chain-link fencing was expected within days.
Park and community items included a reported repair of the playground zipline and a joint Dupont/Kindness of Jefferson County community festival and old-fashioned carnival set for May 17, 2025, to raise money for the park.
Delinquent sewer bills were presented for review; the meeting record does not list individual delinquent amounts. All bills and vouchers presented at the meeting were reviewed and signed by board members.
The board set its next regular meeting for Tuesday, May 13, 2025, at 6:00 p.m. and adjourned after a motion by Member Dicken, seconded by Jon Adams; the motion carried.
