Summary

The Selectboard ratified an extra $5,000 in donated funds, increasing the contract with Central Maine Pyrotechnics from $25,000 to $30,000 for Milton's America's 250th Anniversary fireworks display; the motion passed unanimously.

Town Manager Chris Taylor asked the Selectboard to ratify an additional $5,000 in donations to increase the fireworks contract for the town's America's 250th Anniversary celebration. The town had previously authorized up to $25,000; the additional private donations raised the total show budget to $30,000, which requires formal ratification for audit purposes.

Selectboard member Diane Barrows moved to ratify the use of the donated funds; the motion was seconded by Betsy Paret and approved unanimously. The resolution in the minutes credits the Recreation & Parks Department with securing the donations and names Central Maine Pyrotechnics as the contracted vendor.
