CPC approves $200 from contingency to cover final town-clerk records-restoration invoice

The Town of Southborough Community Preservation Committee voted to approve using $200 from a $1,000 contingency to pay the final invoice for the town-clerk document-restoration project.

Committee chair Ben Smith said the project has proceeded through document preservation and conservation tracks and that invoices come in as work is completed; the most recent invoice exceeded the budget by $200. Members agreed the small amount was an appropriate use of the project contingency and approved the expenditure by roll call.

The committee noted the project overall has generally come in at or under estimates historically and that this final payment will return any unspent funds to the Community Preservation Trust Fund at project closeout.
