The Temple Select Board voted April 14 to release $35,000 to begin phase 1 work on a new highway shed.
Kent Perry requested the release of funds to start phase 1 of the project. Clayton Lennartz moved to release $35,000 and George Willard seconded. Ken Caisse abstained; the motion passed with two votes in favor and one abstention.
Lennartz told the board he wanted assurances the project would not exceed budget and asked Perry about cost control. Perry responded he was confident the project would stay within the allotted budget. Board members noted they expect to receive material and labor quotes for the remaining phases before authorizing additional expenditures.
The motion to release the $35,000 was recorded as passed; the board did not record a dollar-by-dollar budget breakdown in the public minutes. The board did not set a timeline for subsequent phases in the minutes, and asked staff or the project lead to return with further cost information before proceeding.
