Hurley board approves labor consultant contract, speed-sign grant application and transfer-station payment policy
Summary
The board approved a contingency agreement with a labor consultant firm, authorized submission of a grant application to purchase mobile speed signs for US 209, and adopted a policy to accept credit-card and electronic payments (processing fees to begin March 1) at the transfer station; several personnel appointment timing adjustments were also discussed.
At a regular meeting, the board approved several administrative items ranging from consultant services to local fee policy and safety equipment.
The board voted to authorize an agreement with labor consultants (Romand Rollins) for labor negotiation services; the action was discussed in the context of a contingency contract and referenced budget line 1420.4 for payment. The motion was presented and approved by the board during the meeting.
On traffic safety, the board reported successful preliminary state-level coordination to pursue grant funding for mobile speed signs along US 209 after a recent fatal crash in the area. The board said it will submit an application for funding (the request discussed in the meeting was for four mobile speed signs and a $100,000 purchase request) and that a state capital sponsor was backing the application.
For town operations, the board adopted an updated credit-card and electronic-payment policy for the transfer station. The revised policy clarifies that processing fees will take effect March 1 and will be paid by the person making the payment; staff described steps needed to install handheld card readers and to test the equipment before the effective date.
The board also discussed timing of a clerk appointment and agreed to postpone an appointment effective date until overlap with a deputy clerk for training can occur (target date discussed around March 1). The meeting included other routine approvals such as temporary zoning-enforcement appointments and resolution housekeeping.
What happens next: staff will execute the labor consultant contract, submit the speed-sign grant application and implement payment equipment at the transfer station before March 1; the clerk appointment date will be adjusted to allow training overlap.
