Brooksville hires road commissioner, addresses salt-shed repairs and winter-roads budgeting
Summary
Selectmen hired Daryl Astbury as Road Commissioner at $34/hour, discussed repairs to the salt shed and arranged winter-roads budgeting and potential special town meeting to adjust accounts; equipment repairs and storage of salt were also discussed.
Selectmen voted to hire Daryl Astbury as Brooksville’s Road Commissioner and set his pay at $34 per hour. The appointment was recorded in March minutes and signed by the board.
The board discussed maintenance and equipment issues including a needed repair to a hydraulic line on a backhoe, possible skid-steer rental for sweeping work, and options for pre-ordering salt to lock in prices. Town staff reported a guaranteed salt price through April for the existing vendor and discussed storing supplies for next season.
Minutes also record a potential need for a Special Town Meeting to add funds to the Winter Roads account and adjustments to highway/winter roads budgeting (a $40,000 increase to the Highway account with a corresponding decrease to another line was discussed), indicating the board expects to address winter-roads funding ahead of the commitment deadline.
