Council asks staff to consult attorney about using ARPA funds for sewer liner work
Summary
Council member Jeremy Newnam requested that Administrator Erin Braband consult Attorney Ryan about whether ARPA funds can be used for sewer liner installations after the sewer camera/jetting report, given the short time frame to obligate funds.
Council member Jeremy Newnam raised a procedural question asking Administrator Erin Braband to speak with Attorney Ryan about how the town can allocate American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds for sewer liner installations after receiving the sewer camera/jetting report, noting a short timeframe for spending those funds. The request was framed as a legal and procedural check rather than a formal direction to spend money.
The council did not take a vote on ARPA allocations at the Nov. 19 workshop. The item was recorded as a staff action item: Administrator Braband was asked to consult with Attorney Ryan and report back on whether ARPA can be used for sewer liner work and what timing or legal constraints apply.
