Selectman Gregory Ring awarded town mowing contract after recusal by bidder
Summary
After an executive session May 20, the Selectboard opened prior bids and awarded mowing and bush‑hogging of town properties (excluding the playground) to Selectman Gregory Ring; Ring recused himself from the discussion and the motion passed 2–0. Other bids and the playground bid were recorded.
During executive session the Selectboard reviewed bids for mowing and bush‑hogging of town properties from a prior meeting. Selectman Gregory Ring recused himself from the discussion; Norman Bamford and Erin Shanahan opened and reviewed the bids publicly after the executive session.
Bids recorded included: Gregory Ring — $3,600 for mowing and bush‑hogging as advertised; H&S Site Work — $4,900 (mowing and bush‑hogging); Kelley & Sons — $2,300 (bush‑hogging); and a separate town playground bid of $8,500. After consideration Erin Shanahan moved to grant Gregory Ring the mowing and bush‑hogging contract for town properties excluding the playground; Norman Bamford seconded and the motion passed 2–0 (Ring recused).
The board did not describe any contract oversight terms, length of term or payment schedule at the meeting; those implementation details were not recorded in the public minutes.
