Assessors report Saddleback Bridge repairs completed; clerk to seek FEMA funding for storm damage
Summary
Contractor reported completion of Saddleback Bridge repairs and will send an invoice; the Board directed the clerk to contact the State to request reopening and to research storm dates to pursue FEMA funds for damages. Rodney Varney also updated the Board on a repaired washout on Edelheid Road and advised homeowner responsibility for future failures.
A contractor reported that work on the Saddleback Bridge (Townhall Road, #0373) was completed around 1:30 p.m., including grout work described in the contractor’s summary. The contractor will submit a detailed invoice by the end of the week, and the clerk was directed to contact the State to request removal of jersey barriers and reopening of the bridge.
The Board also directed the clerk to research which storm dates affected the Saddleback Bridge so the town can determine eligibility for FEMA funding to cover damage sustained. The directive asks staff to assemble relevant dates and documentation to support any FEMA grant application.
Separately, Third Assessor Rodney Varney updated the Board about a washout at 297 Edelheid Road that has been addressed. Varney said he will forward photos to the office and will notify the homeowner that the repair was completed because the road was not functioning properly; he told the homeowner that future failures would be the homeowner’s financial responsibility.
No vote tallies or formal grant approvals were recorded; the actions taken at the meeting were directives for the clerk and administrative follow-up. The contractor’s invoice and the clerk’s research on eligible storm dates are the next procedural steps.
