Select Board approves $200,000 winter maintenance supplemental request

Wellesley Select Board · March 24, 2026

Summary

The Select Board approved a $200,000 supplemental appropriation to the Department of Public Works to replenish salt supplies after an unusually active winter; DPW Director David Cohen said the appropriation would leave close to a zero balance if no further events occur.

DPW Director David Cohen presented the department's third supplemental appropriation request for winter maintenance, seeking $200,000 to replenish salt supplies after an unusually active season. He said the request would leave the winter-maintenance account close to zero if there were no additional snow/ice events and would refill about three-quarters of the town's salt shed.

On a motion by Colette Aufranc, seconded by Thomas Ulfelder, the Board voted 5-0 to approve the supplemental and authorized modification of Article 7, Motion 1 to $1,100,000.
