Highway superintendent reports paving and storm cleanup; board approves seasonal hires, summer hours and a $315,500 bond anticipation note
Summary
Highway Superintendent Jason Sattory reported paving timelines and storm cleanup; the board approved seasonal summer hires and a 12-week Friday summer schedule, and authorized a $315,500 one-year bond anticipation note to finance a highway vehicle.
Highway Superintendent Jason Sattory updated the Town Board that paving on Cart Road and Halls Apple Road is nearly complete and that the paving contractor has delayed the start date to about July 20 due to scheduling and weather, with updates to be posted on town channels. He reported mowing progress, a repaired tractor switch, ongoing storm cleanup for downed trees and line damage, and two job openings in the highway department; Sattory thanked his crew and his new assistant, Elena.
The board approved the recreation director's list of 2026 seasonal summer employees, including lifeguards, and authorized a 12-week summer schedule reducing Friday hours to 8 a.m.–1 p.m. from June 26 through Sept. 11, 2026, noting staff and operational efficiencies.
Separately, the board authorized issuance of a bond anticipation note (BAN) to NBT Bank for $315,500 at 3.45% interest for one year to finance purchase of a 2025 International Navistar chassis with body, plow and wing for the highway department. Council discussion noted competing interest quotes and approved the BAN by voice vote.
Next steps: the highway superintendent will coordinate posting of project schedules and execute procurement/financing documents as authorized by the board.
