4. Old/Other Business
Keith Arlund stated he continues to chase the Clean Water Revolving loan fund and there seems to be a disconnect in this program. He noted it has been announced the town has been granted money; however, the application discrepancies are still open. Mr. Arlund advised he will submit the application with the copies of the bonding materials from the infrastructure bond.
Richard Baker stated Mr. Arlund and Mr. Schmelzenbach have put out an RFP that closes this Friday and he noted this project is as shovel-ready as it can get. He stated he finds it hard to believe that Congress had the thought in mind that someone from A & R would interpose these obstacles, if they are concerned with getting people employed. Mr. Baker stated the town also has the money for its share. He noted that someone may have to approach our delegation to discuss this issue, as no one in Vermont will be able to use the money. Mitch Pearl stated perhaps discussing this with Leahy's staff may be in order. Keith Arlund stated they are doing everything possible to comply. Richard Baker noted we are as ready as we can be to go and perhaps the correspondence should be forwarded to our representatives.
Motion by Richard Baker/Bruce Brown to enter into executive session concurrently as the Board of Sewer Commissioners and the Select Board at 8:05PM for the purpose of discussing a contract. The motion passed unanimously - 3 to zero.
