THERE'S PLANNING AND THEN THERE'S THERE PLANNING!



THE PROJECT AND BUDGET PLANNING IN NEW FAIRFIELD
The Senior Center Renovation & Additions report details all expenditures by vendor which includes the architects.

Concerning the $74,500, the Connecticut Department of Public Health and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) have jointly determined that $325,000 in costs already expended by the Town of New Fairfield are eligible for reimbursement for the installation of a water line to the Senior Center at 33 Route 37. As a consequence, the entire reimbursement from the EPA, $151,800 (or 46.71% of $325,000), can be refunded at this time and applied towards the Senior Center. You will see the $151,800 amount reflected on page one of the Senior Center Renovation & Additions report provided in your meeting packet. This reflects an increase in Funding of $85,019.

Also, for additional information, please reference the 10/8/2009 BOS minutes.

BUT NOT A DIME OF TAXPAYER FUNDS!
