Summary

The Board approved a proposal from Enman Kesselring for water-source exploration at Raptor Lane, noting findings will determine unit capacity; funding would use ARPA reserves and the work could be CHIP-reimbursable in future.

The Board reviewed and approved a proposal from Enman Kesselring (E&K) to begin water-source exploration work for Raptor Lane. The minutes note the work "could begin in the spring" and that the water-source item is a "critical path item because it will determine overall capacity for unit counts at Raptor Lane." The Board approved funding for the work from the ARPA reserve fund (motion passed 4-0).

Minutes list an estimated project range of $100,000–$140,000 for E&K water/septic work as pending approval in the sinking-fund summary. Board members discussed that the environmental and water-source work could later be eligible for CHIP reimbursement and that the town would seek grants or congressionally designated funds to help offset costs.
