Board moves to seek bids for three short stormwater projects; members warn of budget limits
Summary
The Porter board voted to solicit quotes for three staff-prioritized stormwater projects and discussed bundling smaller repairs to reduce contractor costs; members cautioned the three projects could consume most of the year's available funds.
The board approved a motion to solicit bids for three staff‑identified stormwater projects — including the cul‑de‑sac item raised by resident Michael Peters — with the goal of bundling small repairs so contractors will provide quotes.
Board members acknowledged budget constraints during the discussion. "Those three are gonna be at least $60,000," one member said, noting the combined cost could approximate the town's net income for the year. Staff said they would return when bids are received to determine what can be done within the available budget.
