Selectboard approves $159,000 warrant; treasurer says major costs are grant-covered

The Windham Selectboard voted to approve a warrant totaling $159,000 that included large recent expenses tied to capital work. Treasurer Cathy Fales told the board the largest line items were $117,000 for the Rt. 121 culvert project and $7,300 for stone work in front of the Meeting House, and she said both are covered by grant funding.

"The big cost items of the $159,000 were $117,000 for the Rt. 121 culvert and $7300 for the stone work in front of the Meeting House which are both covered by grants," Cathy reported, and she added that she expects a payment of about $200,000 within the next six weeks. After hearing the treasurer's summary, Michael Pelton moved to approve the warrant; the motion carried.

Board members also noted upcoming grant deadlines for VTrans and Better Roads and asked staff to verify submissions for ongoing projects. The Selectboard did not change spending policy in this session; the approval confirmed current invoices will be paid and that reimbursements are expected to offset the town's cash outlay.
