Council approves Tom Mann Road repair bid, selects all-electric HVAC for community building
Summary
At its Dec. 8 meeting Mayor Christopher J. Walker and the council unanimously approved several routine items: awarding a Tom Mann Road repair bid to Janson Trucking, accepting an all‑electric HVAC bid from Southern Comfort for the community building at $9,849.28, scheduling a charter‑update workshop after the new year, and accepting financial documents.
Mayor Christopher J. Walker called the council to order on Monday, Dec. 8, 2025. At roll call all members except Council member Askvig were present.
The council moved quickly through routine business and unanimously approved the consent agenda and the meeting agenda after separate motions by Council member Watts (consent agenda) and Council member Watts (agenda), with seconders recorded as Council member Pritchett and Council member Keith, respectively.
The council then considered a sole bid for repair work on Tom Mann Road. The only bid received was from Janson Trucking, Inc.; after discussion the council concluded the cost was appropriate and voted unanimously to accept the bid (motion by Council member Watts; second by Council member Keith).
On a facilities item, Mayor Walker reported he had received three vendor bids for heat and air for the second room of the community building and presented three different equipment options from each vendor. The council decided to proceed with an all‑electric unit rather than one involving propane. The lowest bid was from Southern Comfort at $9,849.28; Council member Watts moved to accept that bid, Council member Keith seconded, and the motion passed unanimously.
Council members also discussed updates to the municipal charter and generally agreed that a workshop would be needed before meeting with the town attorney to finalize any changes. Because of the holiday season, the council agreed to schedule that workshop after the start of the new year; no formal vote on charter amendments was taken at this meeting.
The council accepted the presented financial documents after a motion by Council member Pritchett and a second from Council member Watts. With no further business, Council member Pritchett moved to adjourn at 7:30 p.m.; Council member Keith seconded and the meeting was adjourned by unanimous vote.
The meeting record is signed by Christopher J. Walker, Mayor, and Sharon Richmond, Clerk.
