Rome Select Board orders road inspections, records culvert replacements and discusses digitizing town archives
Summary
The Select Board instructed the Road Commissioner to ride and inspect all town roads to update the road-priority list, asked that culvert replacements be logged with a copy kept at the Town Office, and discussed beginning digitization of older town records for research ease.
The Rome Board of Selectmen on March 9 directed the Road Commissioner to ride and inspect all town roads to update the town's road-priority list and asked that the Road Commissioner maintain a list of culverts replaced, with a copy to be kept in the Town Office.
Board members discussed maintenance choices such as using crack sealant when appropriate versus pursuing full pavement in later projects. The minutes record these items as part of planning for future road maintenance; no formal spending motion tied to road resurfacing was recorded at the meeting.
In the same discussion the board considered steps to begin digitizing older town records to make historical and administrative research easier. The minutes also list related future-agenda infrastructure items including dry hydrants, a meeting with the snow-plow contractor and upgrading schedule 40 PVC septic piping in a basement to prevent future issues.
The board did not adopt specific contract changes or a funding allocation for road resurfacing at this meeting; the direction to inspect and document culvert replacements is intended to inform priorities and future budget requests.
