Lanesborough ARPA Committee Approves Funding for Key Fobs
LANESBOROUGH, Mass. — The American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) Committee has set aside just under $30,000 of its remaining funds to get key fobs for the outside doors of several town buildings.
The committee held a brief meeting on Wednesday to go over the costs for a key fob system for town hall, the fire department and highway department buildings. The fobs will allow the doors to open via a remote, similar to a key fob for a car.
The total cost to set up the system for the three buildings is expected to be $27,268. Board Chair and Department of Public Works Director Charles Durfee said he looked into the key fobs after someone mentioned the topic at a previous meeting.
"We talked right out of the box about doing key fobs for all of the outside doors. I got a quote from Alarms of Berkshire County, who the town already has a contract with to do all the town buildings," Durfee said.
After these appropriations, the ARPA budget has about $37,000 left over. The Select Board will have to approve the appropriation at its next meeting.
In other business, the committee voted to add Town Accountant Katie Lemanski to the group as a formal member.
