Council authorizes payment for resident well testing and to seek Environmental Trust reimbursement
Summary
The council approved authorization for the town manager to pay for resident well testing through the Republic Works Stormwater Cost Center and to pursue reimbursement from the Environmental Trust; members discussed cost estimates and one member abstained on the roll call.
Council voted to authorize the town manager to pay for resident well testing identified in the earlier item and to seek reimbursement from the Environmental Trust. The funding would come from the Republic Works Stormwater Cost Center, with the town to seek reimbursement under the trust program.
Members discussed cost estimates and packet figures. A staff member explained the differences among memo numbers and invoice totals: the memo had a typo and the state’s formula produced a reimbursement figure slightly different from the memo. A roll-call vote recorded one abstention; the motion was recorded as passing 6–1 with one abstention noted.
Councilors asked staff to clarify the final invoice and reimbursement amounts when the town files for trust reimbursement. The council did not provide a precise total cost in the motion; staff said cost depends on the number of participating residents.
