Selectmen confirm appointments, accept donation and award paving work; hire highway worker and approve contract extensions
Summary
At its June 2 meeting the board appointed Tim Davis to the sewer commission, accepted a library trustee resignation, hired Matt McMillan for the highway department, appointed CMRPC delegates, accepted a donated police sign, approved one‑day liquor license for the fire department event, and awarded/extended several paving and reclamation contracts.
The North Brookfield Board of Selectmen on June 2 processed several personnel and procurement items across routine business.
Appointments and personnel: The board approved the sewer commission's recommendation to appoint Tim Davis, a local resident with 25 years' wastewater experience, to the North Brookfield Sewer Commission; Mr. Davis was instructed to see the town clerk to be sworn in. The board accepted the written resignation of library trustee Gabriel Holmes, who is moving out of town. Highway Superintendent Randy Morgan recommended hiring Matt McMillan (CDL holder and career trucker) to the highway department; the board moved and approved the hire.
Regional representation: The board appointed Karen Hubac as alternate delegate to the Central Massachusetts Regional Planning Commission (CMRPC) and reappointed Brandon Avery as the town's delegate.
Contracts, licenses and donations: The board authorized a one‑day liquor license for the North Brookfield Fire Department's Oldtimers dinner on June 6, 2026, and accepted a donated replacement sign for the Northportville police station from Randy Bowden of North County Signs. The board approved one-year extension options for the Mass Broken Stones paving contract and for Murray Paving & Reclamation so planned reclamation and paving work (including Gilbert Street) can proceed in FY27. It also reviewed two bids for paving at the new fire/highway complex and indicated selection of the low bidder (ML Part and Sun Paving) pending standard insurance documentation; the transcript records the low bid as "$48,15" which appears to be a transcription formatting error and should be verified in the procurement file.
Equipment repair and small purchases: The board approved a $5,600 repair to a 2000 International dump truck frame (Baz Ballad Diesel) and authorized repair of a plate compactor (referred to in the meeting as a "whacker") with a repair estimate discussed in the meeting transcript (transcript contains inconsistent numeric formatting for this item).
