Selectboard narrows $99,000 LCBP Ice House Road grant to planning after safety concerns
Summary
Milton's Selectboard authorized changing a $99,000 Lake Champlain Basin Program grant for Ice House Road lake access from construction to planning after Green Mountain Power raised safety concerns about dam intake proximity; the motion passed 3–1.
Town Manager Chris Taylor asked the Selectboard to authorize a change in scope for a $99,000 Lake Champlain Basin Program waterfront-access grant for Ice House Road, converting the project from construction to planning only. Taylor said Green Mountain Power raised safety concerns about the proximity of dam intakes to the proposed floating dock, prompting a need for a more granular planning document before construction.
Selectboard members voted to authorize the Town Manager to submit the scope change request and to execute necessary documents. The motion passed 3–1: Michael Morgan, Diane Barrows and Betsy Paret voted in favor; Leland Morgan voted against. The change postpones construction work pending further planning and safety review.
