Council approves library restroom renovation with mixed funding from grants, corporation, and town
Summary
Council approved renovation of five library restrooms after the library director described a $198,400 quote and a funding package including a $95,000 Champlin grant, $37,000 from the library corporation, anticipated ARPA reimbursement, and a requested town supplement of $36,005.75.
The North Kingstown Town Council approved funding to complete restroom renovations at the public library on March 9.
Library Director Megan Wheaton told the council the project covers five restrooms with a contractor quote of $198,400. Funding sources outlined by the manager and Wheaton include a $95,000 Champlin grant, $37,000 from the North Kingstown Library Corporation, anticipated ARPA reimbursement, and a town supplement request of $36,005.75 to close the gap in funding.
Town Manager Ralph Mullis described the funding as an example of cooperation between the library director, the corporation, and the town, saying the combination of grants and local contributions made the project feasible. The council moved and approved item 13, supplementing the grant and corporation contributions with the town allocation.
