The funds to cover the shortfall will come from the town's $5,537,000 undesignated fund balance for fiscal year 2015-16, said the Easton Courier.

During the meeting, residents also agreed to upgrade or change the scope of work for the Wells Hill Bridge and South Park Avenue Bridges, with a grant covering the $1.4 million in construction costs and the town covering the design cost, added the Easton Courier.
