Chair reviews assorted town business: property listing, roads, DOT trench and procedural motion
Summary
The board agreed to begin selling town property at 22 Bush Road, discussed road-grader operations and DOT excavation by the library, noted routine warrant items and septic maintenance, and seconded a motion to remove a previously tabled motion from the agenda.
The Chair covered a series of routine town items during the meeting, including a plan to list town-owned property at 22 Bush Road, multiple road and drainage concerns, and a procedural motion.
On property, members agreed to begin the sale process for 22 Bush Road using a real estate agent to value and list the parcel and suggested starting with a local realtor; the Chair said the listing should remain active for about a year if needed.
On public works, members raised concerns about DOT excavation near the library that removed plantings and several pines used for a story hour garden and discussed grader activity along Route 11 that pushed back wood chips placed to control dust. Members asked that foremen coordinate with local contacts to avoid unnecessary damage to community plantings and to ensure culverts and drainage work are appropriately managed.
The Chair noted routine warrant items (about $55 noted for basic items including propane) and reported that a septic system on town property had been pumped; members discussed minor plumbing repairs needed at town facilities.
At the end of the excerpt, a procedural motion to "remove that motion from the table" was made and seconded; no vote or final outcome was recorded in the provided transcript portion.
What happens next: staff were asked to follow up on the realtor contact for 22 Bush Road, coordinate with DOT/foremen on landscaping impacts, and report back on any necessary repairs or next steps.
