A Special Town Meeting in Sprague on April 16 approved a $50,000 appropriation from the State of Connecticut to pay for carpet replacement and related costs at the Sprague Public Library. The motion was introduced by Catherine Osten and seconded by Jane Desrosiers; it passed by voice vote.
Osten moved “that the Town appropriate funding from the State of Connecticut in the amount of $50,000 for the Sprague Public Library to be used for Carpet replacement and associated costs,” according to the meeting record. The meeting minutes state that “discussion ensued,” but do not record further details of that discussion or a roll-call tally; the item was approved by voice vote and the tally was not specified.
The meeting was called to order at 7:01 p.m. by First Selectman Cheryl Blanchard, and Jennifer Synnett, the town clerk, read the legal notice before business began. The meeting adjourned at 7:11 p.m.
Because the record lists only a voice vote, no individual vote totals are available from the minutes. There is no indication in the transcript that the appropriation is contingent on any additional approvals; the motion passed at the Special Town Meeting and will be recorded in the town’s minutes.
