Council approves bridge agreement, wastewater invoice and hears staffing updates for marshal’s office
Summary
Council approved a bridge agreement with minor corrections, approved a $5,000 invoice for Commonwealth Engineers tied to the sanitary sewer project, and heard staffing updates including a police resignation and two applicants for the Town Marshal position.
The council approved an agreement between the town and the bridge organization, authorizing signature after minor corrections and addition of a previously missing signature page. Council members said the agreement functions as a design‑build‑operate arrangement and discussed procurement implications, including potential Davis‑Bacon considerations for bidding procedures.
On the sanitary sewer project the council approved an invoice to Commonwealth Engineers in the amount of $5,000 after a motion and second.
In personnel updates, the marshal reported the resignation of Officer Salvo (effective May 4) and that Marshall Bright may resign within a month. Two candidates, Jake Myers and Steve Downs, introduced themselves and indicated they would be available for interview; both provided resumes and discussed their law enforcement experience.
Council also heard preliminary wastewater maintenance estimates — a pump repair previously quoted at about $9,200 and a gearbox replacement quoted at roughly $8,600 — with staff committing to bring final costs and bidding information to the June meeting.
