Rico board directs town manager to seek congressional funds for Silver Creek reactivation
Summary
The board voted 5-0 to direct Town Manager Chauncey McCarthy to apply for FY2026 congressionally directed spending toward Silver Creek reactivation after a town-manager briefing.
Rico, March 3, 2025
Following a briefing from Town Manager Chauncey McCarthy on options for a FY2026 congressionally directed spending request, the board voted to direct staff to pursue funding aimed at reactivating Silver Creek.
Mayor Patrick Fallon moved that the town manager be directed to apply for monies toward Silver Creek reactivation; Mayor Pro Tem Cristal Hibbard seconded. A roll-call vote approved the direction, 5-0.
Why it matters: The board's direction authorizes staff to pursue federal earmark-style funding (congressionally directed spending) for a named local project. The transcript does not include the amount requested, specific funding language, or a timeline for submission.
(Transcript records motion and roll-call result; no verbatim funding request language was provided in the meeting record.)
