Board corrects ARPA accounting and accepts county milfoil grant
Summary
The board amended its ARPA resolution to reflect corrected accounting (discussion cited approximately $61,046 and a motion referenced $61,092.22) and approved a milfoil-harvesting grant routed through the town that will cover a portion of control costs.
Tinmouth select board members reviewed closing ARPA accounting and approved a post‑audit correction at the June 12 meeting. Speaker 2 told members that a final report to the Vermont League of Cities and Towns found the ARPA total differed slightly from the version used in the earlier resolution; speaker 2 said the corrected amount left roughly $26,046 available after previously assigned allocations.
Speaker 3 moved to amend the ARPA resolution to reflect the corrected amount; during the motion the transcript recorded the precise wording as: "I move that the ARPA be amended to show $61.00 $46,000? $61,092.22." The motion was seconded and approved by voice vote.
Separately, the board approved a milfoil grant to support harvesting and control work in town waters. Speaker 3 moved that "we accept the milfoil grant as approved," and the board approved acceptance. The board noted the county program typically reimburses a portion of eligible costs (transcript references to amounts ranged between about $4,000 and $9,200 in prior years and that the program covers roughly 25% of the town's total in some years); staff will route grant funds through the town to the milfoil project and manage invoicing.
