Town board transfers $236,000 from general fund to design West End Bridge
Summary
The board authorized opening a dedicated bank account and transferring $236,000 from the general fund to cover the design phase of the West End Bridge project; officials said the plan is to apply for a bond to cover full construction while using the design to seek reimbursements from the state.
Supervisor told the board the design phase for the West End Bridge is estimated at $236,000 and that the town needs a dedicated bank account to track the project funds separately from general operations. The board approved a transfer of $236,000 from the general fund to the new account so the design contractor can proceed and the town can prepare a bond application and seek reimbursement from New York State when appropriate.
Supervisor explained the sequence: fund the design from the general fund, complete a full design and bid package, then seek a temporary loan or bond to cover construction costs (the Supervisor cited a larger construction funding target in the millions). Board members asked for regular updates and confirmation of environmental scoping prior to construction.
