Highway superintendent: paving to finish June 27; town to post MEO opening
Summary
Highway Superintendent Michael Andrews said paving should finish June 27 after switching to local supplier Upstone Materials; the board authorized posting for a municipal equipment operator position after a staff member announced a career change.
Highway Superintendent Michael Andrews told the board on June 26 that blacktop paving was scheduled to finish on June 27 and that the department switched to local supplier Upstone Materials to increase deliveries. Andrews said crews would move next to shoulder work and then begin graveling on Johnson and Bloomer roads.
Andrews thanked residents of Webster Street for providing food and water to the crew and said the department had performed well during a recent heat wave. He also said a town employee is making a career change, creating what Andrews expects will be an opening for a municipal equipment operator (MEO) in July.
The board approved Resolution 163-2024 authorizing Town Clerk Abby Monica to post the MEO vacancy on the town website, bulletin board and Facebook page. The resolution passed 4-0. The minutes do not include an exact job description, salary range, or application deadline.
Why it matters: road resurfacing and shoulder work affect daily travel and safety for local drivers. The planned job posting signals a forthcoming staff change in the highway department; the minutes record authorization to post but provide no timetable for hire or start date.
