Dalton Select Board: FEMA short paid $29,000 recovered; fire‑tanker grant advances in selection process; Adam asked to report on mitigation
Summary
The board was told FEMA recently paid a previously shorted $29,000, the town’s congressionally directed spending application for a fire tanker advanced to the next stage, and members asked Adam to present a written flood‑mitigation and roads update at the June 8 meeting.
Clerk told the Dalton Select Board the town received a $29,000 payment that had been shorted on a prior FEMA reimbursement, and said the board will schedule a public hearing at the next regular meeting to record the funds.
"They had shorted us that $29,000 on that last payment, and we received that last week," the Clerk said. The Clerk said they will schedule a public hearing for the next regular Select Board meeting to place the payment on the record.
Separately, the Clerk reported that the town’s congressionally directed spending application for a fire tanker was chosen to move forward in the selection process. The Clerk cautioned that this advance is not final approval and that no spending should occur until later appropriations steps are completed.
Chair asked that Adam appear at the board’s June 8 regular meeting to provide an update on flood damage, mitigation progress, and related budget questions, and requested a written summary ahead of that meeting. Members emphasized the importance of substantial progress before mid‑July deadlines the Clerk referenced.
What’s next: Clerk will schedule the public hearing on the FEMA reimbursement and reach out to Adam to confirm availability for the June 8 meeting; the board will monitor the appropriations process for the fire tanker grant before any spending is planned.
