Board discusses whether to split 2nd Street repaving cost with church
Summary
The board discussed a request from an Apostolic Church to repave the asphalt in front of its property as part of 2nd Street repaving; the board revisited a past precedent of splitting costs with a United Methodist congregation and one trustee expressed reservations about using public funds on private property.
The board discussed a request from an Apostolic Church to repave the asphalt in front of its property during the town’s 2nd Street repaving project. The Chair recounted that in the past the town and a United Methodist church split the cost (the board "paid half, the church pay half"), and asked whether the same arrangement should be offered to the Apostolic Church this time.
A trustee raised reservations about using public funds for private property, noting concern about public-fund use for improvements on church property. The board did not approve any cost-sharing at this meeting and asked staff to gather more information about how the new repaving will affect driveway heights and whether grinding or adjustments will be needed before deciding.
No formal motion was adopted; the board agreed to obtain additional details and return the item for further consideration.
