Town announces $839,798.13 resurfacing grant and discusses wheel-tax implications
Summary
Town Manager and finance staff announced an $839,798.13 grant for resurfacing. Council discussed that state changes to wheel-tax rules could affect future eligibility and the Clerk-Treasurer said residents would not be charged twice under the way the local adoption would be structured.
Town Manager Miss Cook presented a grant award the town had received to support road resurfacing: she held up a grant award amounting to $839,798.13 and said the funds would pay for resurfacing work.
Council lauded the grant-writing team and noted the importance of grant revenue to the town’s budget. Council and Clerk-Treasurer Miss Hathaway discussed state changes to wheel-tax rules that may change how the town accesses future funds; Miss Hathaway said the structure could be handled so residents would not be charged twice and clarified some lane-mileage funding points. Council members also noted that acceptance of some federal funds can push the town over the audit threshold, requiring additional reporting.
