Select board authorizes $4,550 storage container for recreation and wreck programs
Summary
The select board unanimously authorized purchase of a storage container (stock/VIN number 714298.8) with a passage door for recreation and wreck program equipment; the purchase will be paid from wreck-equipment reserves estimated at about $17,000.
The select board approved the purchase of a storage container to consolidate recreation and wreck-program equipment. The presenter described the unit as a cost-effective way to keep equipment dry and secure and said it includes a 36-inch passage door to allow easy access for items such as sports equipment. The presenter noted free delivery was available through a convention contact and provided the stock/VIN number cited in the motion (714298.8).
The board was told the purchase price is $4,550 and that the funds would come from the wreck equipment reserve (about $17,000 available). Members discussed site placement near the old transfer-station entrance and options for lighting (solar or battery-powered solutions) rather than running power immediately. A motion to authorize the purchase and allow Eric to complete the transaction passed unanimously.
Why it matters: The container consolidates program equipment, reduces storage pressure on town facilities and is a modest reserve-funded capital expense.
What’s next: Staff will arrange delivery and site placement; the board’s approved purchase will be charged to wreck equipment reserves.
