Select Board approves temporary cold patch for municipal steps, orders pipe inspection
Summary
Selectperson Bill Birdsall moved and the Select Board voted 5–0 on March 4 to use cold patch on the area in front of the municipal building steps, delay permanent repairs until after frost and spring rains, and to have Anderson's Pressure Washing possibly inspect building drain pipes with a camera.
The Select Board voted 5–0 March 4 to apply a temporary cold patch to the area in front of the municipal building steps and postpone permanent repairs until after the frost and spring rains. Selectperson Bill Birdsall moved the measure and Selectperson Adam Foster seconded; the motion passed unanimously.
Board discussion referenced an estimate from TR Construction for repairs to the step area. Birdsall said the board would "use cold patch for now and wait for the frost and the Spring rain before moving forward" and suggested "possibly getting Anderson's Pressure Washing to utilize his camera to check the pipes coming from the building." The board approved that course of action.
The motion directs staff to defer a permanent repair contract until conditions are more suitable for lasting work and to arrange a camera inspection of the building’s drain pipes to inform any future work. No funding for a permanent repair was approved at the meeting; the temporary cold patch was approved as an interim safety and maintenance measure.
