Town officials reported that the seasonal leaf-collection program is proceeding on schedule, with a targeted six-week window that will run through mid-December and expanded pickups in high-volume areas. The conservation center opened earlier this year for unpermitted leaf drop-off and is distributing free leaf bags to residents.

On paving, officials said the town's road program covered 41 road segments this year and 39 are complete; two state-aid projects remain delayed into 2026 pending state approvals. The town said utility coordination allowed most pavement work to be completed curb to curb and noted that roughly half of the town's recent repaving has been funded by utility companies under the town's ordinance requiring restoration after utility work.

Officials also summarized an auction of retired street signs following a town-wide sign replacement. The auction offered 995 signs; 28 did not sell. The town reported that the highest price for a single sign was $550 and that one buyer purchased 22 signs (totaling about $4,200). Final collections from the auction totaled more than $86,000, and the mayor indicated those proceeds will support public-arts commission projects such as murals and park improvements.

Council members praised public-works staff for the sign replacement and auction effort. The meeting record notes plans for a possible follow-up auction next year to offer remaining or county signs if agreements with the county can be reached.
