Amber, are you talking about the reimbursement we get from FEMA/State for storm damage? I am not sure what your Town Administrator is referring to. When a project is complete, and FEMA accepts the worksheet, they reimburse based on our expenses that we have already paid. Why would there be a legal problem? We pay our expenses from our General Fund; the "sweep" provision is simply a function of the bank depending on the account we hold with them. The reimbursements go back into the same fund the payments came out of.
