Council approves up to $6,000 to begin repairs on Aldous cabin
Summary
The Town Council approved up to $6,000 to start repairs and sign replacement at the historic Aldous cabin, with councilmembers expecting volunteer labor to supplement the expense; the motion passed 4–0.
Huntsville Town councilors approved up to $6,000 for supplies and work to begin stabilizing and repairing the Aldous cabin.
Councilmember Bruce Ahlstrom explained the cabin work needed to start before grant funds were finalized, noted the cabin sign was rotting, and said the town hoped for donations from Aldous descendants. Ahlstrom told the council he expected roughly 120 volunteer hours to reduce labor costs. TCM Ahlstrom moved to approve up to $6,000 for the project; TCM Sandy Hunter seconded and the roll‑call vote was recorded 4–0 in favor.
Council materials and public comment reflect that the appropriation is intended to cover initial supplies and sign replacement only; the council did not record a further budget reallocation or longer‑term funding plan in this meeting. The approval authorizes staff to procure necessary materials to begin the preservation work.
