The Jefferson Select Board voted 3-0 on Jan. 12 to renew the town’s snowplow contract for two years with a 3% annual increase, approving first-year compensation of $362,714.50 and second-year compensation of $373,595.94, up from the current $352,150.
The extension request was raised during a discussion about sanding and winter road maintenance. Earnest Jones called to request sanding of the town portion of Mountain Road and asked to extend the contract set to expire in April. The minutes record a motion to renew the town’s snowplow contract (the record refers to the contractor as “Brandon”); the board approved the renewal on a motion by Jigger, seconded by Claudia Orff‑Reed, with a 3-0 vote.
Board members said the renewal was intended to ensure continuity of winter services through the next two seasons while also addressing the town’s supply needs — members separately voted to purchase one additional load of salt after staff reported they were two‑thirds through their current supply. The board did not record any dissent or amendments to the contract terms in the meeting minutes.
The board’s action sets the contract to remain in place through the next two winters; the contract as recorded will take effect after the current contract expires in April. The Select Board did not record additional conditions or a separate public hearing on the renewal at this meeting.
