Summary
TCTV reported the Scout Hall repair bid was awarded to a contractor (transcript lists inconsistent spellings), the Boynton Public Library will close temporarily for renovations, a police cruiser was declared surplus for auction, and DPW breached a beaver dam near the Old Templeton landfill.
Several short municipal items were reported on the Dec. 15 TCTV broadcast:
Scout Hall: Hosts said the repair bid for Scout Hall was awarded to a contractor; speakers noted only one bid was received and it came in near the insurance adjuster—s estimate. The transcript contains inconsistent spellings for the contractor (appearing as both "Lara Shell Construction" and "La Rochelle Construction"); TCTV indicated a local contractor will perform the repairs and that a town official will be invited to discuss the work on a future show.
Library: The Boynton Public Library will close temporarily for building renovations; the hosts asked residents to check the library before visiting and said the town will announce official closure dates.
Vehicles and DPW: A police cruiser was declared surplus for auction after vehicle transfers were discussed; one speaker questioned whether transferring the car to emergency management justified the roughly $13,000–$18,000 implied repair costs. Separately, the DPW breached a beaver dam near the Old Templeton landfill.
Other announcements: The Community Preservation Committee needs-analysis meeting is scheduled for 01/08/2026 at 6 p.m.; the fire department continues to offer car-seat-installation appointments.
