Surry Select Board approves $145,000 plowing contract, several warrants; to consider library supplemental request
Summary
At its Oct. 1 meeting, the Town of Surry Select Board approved a $145,000 plowing contract (including $8,000 for the school), unanimously approved payroll and accounts payable warrants, accepted a Conservation Commission application, and agreed to discuss a library warrant error at its planning meeting.
The Town of Surry Select Board on Oct. 1 approved a $145,000 contract with KJ Dugas to plow town roads for the coming season; the figure includes $8,000 for the school. Tom Welgoss moved to accept the proposal, Chris Stark seconded, and the motion passed unanimously.
The board also approved committee appointments and warrants. Chris Stark moved and Tom Welgoss seconded approval of the following warrants, which the board passed unanimously: Payroll Warrant #16 for $10,029.68; Payroll Warrant #19 for $1,076.50; Accounts Payable Warrant #17 for $208,392.60; Electronic Payment Warrant #18 for $316,280.44 (which includes School Warrant #6: payroll $84,562.12 and accounts payable $230,703.93).
Chris moved to accept Kim Johnson's application to the Conservation Commission; Tom seconded and the motion passed unanimously.
During public comment, Blue Hill Public Library Director Rich Boulet said the FY25 warrant mistakenly listed $3,000 for the library but the library had requested $5,790. Boulet asked whether the board would add the difference to the warrant if a special town meeting was already scheduled for another item; the board said it would discuss using discretionary funds at its planning meeting and would get back to Boulet in two to three weeks.
The meeting opened with an announcement that Chris Nemeth has been hired as the town treasurer and reported the town received a $900 dividend from MMA Risk Management for favorable loss experience. The Select Board adjourned at 7:01 p.m.
