c. John Sheehan requested an update on the Federal Funds/American
Recovery Fund Plans that the Town of Waterford will be receiving.
First Selectman Robert Brule reported that we have researched how
the Federal Government wants the money spent we have decided to
focus on water and sewer and tourism. A presentation with details
will be presented at a later date.
Liaison Reports: Municipal Complex — Glenn Patterson: There is still a punch
list of items that need to be done. We do have a final payment of $280,000
owed to O&G, however; they were told that until the committee is happy with
the finished product they would not be getting a check and they understand.
Anchor Engineering is owed around $84,000 and as of July 13, 2021, we have
$1,327,591 out there. Once everything is complete and paid, the committee is
looking to return $900,000 to the Town of Waterford.
