Board defers decision on $2.3M Willimantic public safety renovation, requests legal opinion
Summary
The Town of Windham Board of Finance discussed a proposed $2.3 million renovation to the Willimantic police and fire building but took no action, asking the town manager to obtain a legal opinion on which entity is responsible under Section 9.2 of the Town Charter.
The Town of Windham Board of Finance discussed a proposed $2,300,000 renovation to the police and fire building in Willimantic but did not approve the project at its July 1 special meeting. Board members reviewed Section 9.2 of the Town Charter during the discussion but did not reach agreement on which party is responsible for upgrades.
The board asked Town Manager Rob Zarnetske to obtain a legal opinion to clarify responsibility under the charter. The minutes state, "no action was taken." The request for a formal legal opinion establishes the next procedural step; no vote or funding authorization occurred at the meeting.
The matter will return to the board after the town manager provides the requested legal guidance. The board did not set a deadline for that analysis during the meeting.
