Council approves non‑budgeted $59,850 geothermal survey; asked staff to seek RDC funding first
Summary
Council approved a non-budgeted geothermal survey/study totaling $59,850 and directed staff to pursue Rangeley Development Corporation (RDC) funding as the first option before applying general-fund dollars.
During the April 28 meeting the council considered and approved a non‑budgeted geothermal survey/study in the amount of $59,850. The motion included a directive that staff pursue RDC funding first and only use general-fund dollars if RDC cannot cover the expense. Council members said they had discussed the project in a prior work session and supported moving forward with RDC as the primary funding avenue.
The motion carried after a second and discussion about possible RDC contribution. Staff said they would explore RDC support and return to council with updates; if RDC funds are not available, the town may proceed with general‑fund appropriation as previously discussed.
