Limington Select Board approves routine minutes and warrants; office signs $437,954 roads shim contract
Summary
The Select Board approved meeting minutes and warrants and reviewed an office-approved paving plan that allocates $437,954.85 this year for shim coats on 10–11 roads, with top‑coating planned next year to stretch the town’s budget.
The Limington Select Board approved routine meeting minutes and warrants during its June 4 session. The meeting record shows the board moved and seconded to approve the May minutes and then approved payroll warrant #62 for $37,210.15 and appropriation warrant #63 for $44,471.42 by voice consent.
Separately, board members reviewed an office decision to accept a roads contract totaling $437,954.85 to apply shim coats on 10–11 roads this year and defer top‑coating to next year. Officials said a full shim+overlay bid had come in at about $823,000 while the town’s budget available was roughly $470,000, prompting a decision to shim now to preserve more roads and reduce deterioration until a top coat can be funded.
Why it matters: Board members said the shim approach buys time and protects road base conditions, which should reduce vehicle damage and overall future repair costs, while allowing the town to spread final overlay costs into the next budget cycle.
Other routine business included transfer station and recycling reports, fire and EMS call tallies, parks and recreation program announcements and a monthly recycling raffle. The board adjourned at 8:13 p.m.
