Summary
The minutes state Simmonds Brook Bridge repairs and drainage work are complete; the town recorded a $271,300 final bill and said all documentation has been submitted to FEMA. Officials noted changes at MEMA's Augusta office and praised Director Christine Peterman's handling of recent storms.
Town minutes from Nov. 12 record that the Letter S road repair project is complete and that Simmonds Brook Bridge repairs — including drainage work — have been finished. The minutes list a final bill of $271,300 and state that all paperwork has been submitted to the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA).
The minutes also note staffing changes at the Maine Emergency Management Agency's Augusta office and praise for Director Christine Peterman for her role across three recent storms. The board did not vote on additional road work at the meeting; the minutes do not specify how much, if any, of the $271,300 FEMA will reimburse or the town's share of costs.
The entry is recorded as part of the regular road/commissioner report; no timeline for receipt of FEMA reimbursement is provided in the minutes.
