Committee votes to recommend no funding for water‑quality (milfoil) and Centenary/Shirley sanitary CRFs

The committee voted to recommend no funding for the water‑quality/milfoil CRF, citing applicants’ failure to submit required materials despite multiple outreach attempts. Committee member (S2) moved that the committee recommend $0 be put into the water‑quality CRF; the motion was seconded and approved by voice vote.

Later the committee similarly recommended $0 for the Centenary/Shirley sanitary CRF, noting a very small balance in the applicant account and insufficient documentation to authorize spending. Committee members emphasized that the votes reflected absent or incomplete requests rather than opposition to the policy goals of water quality or sanitary improvements.
