West Swanzey approves $40,000 contract to paint Town Hall and Whitcomb Hall
Summary
Town officials authorized the town administrator or public works to execute a $40,000 contract to paint Town Hall and Whitcomb Hall, funded in part by the Peter Johnson Memorial Trust and town expendable trust funds; the vote was recorded as three "ayes."
West Swanzey — Town officials authorized the town administrator or public works to execute a contract to paint Town Hall and Whitcomb Hall for a total of $40,000, with funding drawn partly from the Peter Johnson Memorial Trust and from town expendable trust funds.
The motion, made during the meeting, authorized the town administrator or public works to execute “all necessary approvals, awards, and the contract” under a revised RFP/proposal for the work. The motion was seconded; the meeting recorded three "Aye" votes and no opposition, and the measure was approved.
Meeting remarks identified the contractor name in the transcript variously as "Minkley Minkler" (spelling unclear). The transcript records that negotiations over the bid occurred between Joe DeBrousseau and the ownership at a name transcribed as "Maglar." Those names appear in the meeting record but are not further clarified in the discussion.
Officials said the Peter Johnson Memorial Trust donation, accepted by the town the prior week, will cover part of the cost; the remainder will come from the Town Hall and Whitcomb Hall expendable trust funds as needed. No exact breakdown of how much the trust will contribute was given in the discussion.
The meeting did not specify a start date for the painting work or other contract details such as completion timeline, insurance requirements, or final contractor contact information.
The motion and vote concluded the agenda item on building maintenance; no amendments or further conditions were recorded.
