Council reallocates contingency to provide transfer‑station permits for tax‑assistance recipients

Council considered Order 25And58 to reallocate contingency funds to purchase annual transfer‑station permits for 115 recipients in the town's property‑tax assistance program. The agenda text lists a figure of $11,960; during discussion councilors proposed amending the motion to reallocate "up to" that amount. The amendment passed and the clerk recorded an "Okay Amended 70" in the transcript.

Councilors asked staff to check whether recipients had already purchased stickers and to issue refunds where appropriate rather than paying for duplicate permits. Staff said they would make refunds as needed. The motion on the floor was revised to an "up to" amount prior to the final vote; the transcript records the amendment passing but does not include a detailed roll‑call showing final tally beyond the recorded amended result.
