Summary

The board approved a floor resolution to use $975 of ARPA funds to cover the town match on a connector trail closeout, citing an ARPA spending deadline and minor accounting differences across fiscal years.

Board members discussed closeout of a recreational connector trail grant that left the town $975 short of its match due to accounting differences spanning more than one year. Staff recommended covering the $975 shortfall with ARPA funds, noting the town must spend the ARPA allocation by the end of 2025.

"We were short $975 of the Town's match," a board member said, and the chair said she preferred using ARPA money because it must be used by the end of next year. The board agreed in concept and approved a floor resolution to use ARPA funds to repay the match; the chair said she would verify the precise ARPA deadline referenced during a follow-up check.
