Dalton Select Board accepts $12,357.15 in unanticipated FEMA reimbursement
Summary
At a public hearing the Dalton Select Board accepted $12,357.15 in FEMA reimbursement for recent road work, confirmed the town has received $1,042,382.69 to date with $145,278.10 outstanding, and discussed project-level reimbursements and next steps.
The Dalton Select Board opened a public hearing and accepted $12,357.15 in unanticipated FEMA reimbursement for town road work. Chair led the hearing and moved to accept the funds, a motion that was seconded and approved.
The funds relate to designated FEMA projects covering a set of town roads. Town Clerk Amanda Devineau listed the covered roads and the clerk and chair provided a project-level accounting: “What we've received to date is $1,042,382.69,” and “what we have outstanding is $145,278.10,” figures the board said represent reimbursements received and outstanding receivables for specified repair and culvert work.
Board members noted that the reimbursement package tracks multiple FEMA-designated projects and that the town’s records show both amounts already received and amounts submitted but not yet paid. The clerk said the town’s FEMA representative approves time extensions in increments and confirmed extensions had been granted for outstanding mitigation and repair work.
The chair closed the public hearing after the vote. The board directed staff to continue documenting project-level receipts and any outstanding claims so the town can track remaining FEMA reimbursements and satisfy state or federal reporting requirements.
An item related to state-administered reimbursements—separate meals-and-rooms tax distributions—was clarified as not FEMA money. The board asked that project breakdowns be made available to members and that any remaining receivables be pursued with the appropriate agencies.
