Commissioners authorized the immediate purchase of a single double door for the wastewater plant after staff said the door near the lab was loose and could be pulled off.

A commissioner moved to authorize the purchase; the motion was amended to $6,014 for the one worst door, seconded, and approved by roll call (Mister Gagner, Mister Thomas Coleman, Mister Robert Coleman and Mister Groton voted aye).

Separately, a motion to authorize Doused Enterprise’s concrete work estimate for $6,250 (intended to address the front pad and a forklift ramp) was made and seconded. Several commissioners questioned whether the ramp or pad needed immediate replacement or could be repaired; Dennis agreed to ask the contractor whether a repair option was possible. The motion to authorize the $6,250 estimate was voted down (all four recorded commissioners voted nay) and the item will return to the next meeting with an estimate for repair rather than replacement.

The commission also asked staff to check prior work at Town Hall for comparison and to obtain contractor clarification on which concrete elements were necessary now versus postponable until larger construction work.

The door purchase was authorized; the concrete estimate authorization failed and will be revisited at the Dec. 3 meeting.
