Council to seek grant for Vine Street stormwater work; staff to get quotes
Summary
Councilors authorized staff to pursue a stormwater grant for cleaning the Vine Street basin (estimated need ~ $11,300), obtain quotes, and consider reallocating local funds to address immediate flooding concerns affecting foundations and yards.
Council discussed pursuing a stormwater grant to clean the Vine Street basin, which staff described as full and causing repeated flooding that affects foundations and yards. Staff estimated a project cost in the neighborhood of $11,300 and said grant cycles could fund up to 30 percent or more depending on the program; if the town does not receive funding this cycle, members discussed pulling the work from other local funds to address the problem before winter.
Members authorized staff to obtain updated quotes and to bring cost estimates to the next meeting for decision. A council member urged quick action, saying the basins are producing recurring problems for residents' property and that cleaning is one of the more affordable fixes to prevent damage.
