Assessors authorize conditional heating-fuel pre-buy after confirming payment timing
Summary
The Clerk presented a pre-buy price of $3.199 per gallon (estimated 660 gallons) versus a prior two-season average of $3.82; the Board authorized the Clerk to proceed if the provider permits payment after the start of the new fiscal year.
The Board of Assessors reviewed a heating-fuel pre-buy proposal at the June 17 meeting. The Clerk reported the current provider offered a pre-buy rate of $3.199 per gallon for an estimated 660 gallons based on a two-year usage average; the previous two-season average used for comparison was $3.82 per gallon.
Board members asked about the payment schedule and directed the Clerk to confirm whether payment could be deferred until after the new fiscal year begins. If the provider allows post-fiscal-year payment, the Board authorized the Clerk to complete the pre-buy to secure the lower price.
The authorization is conditional on the Clerk's confirmation of acceptable payment timing; no formal contract was signed during the meeting.
