Wilton board votes to seek bids for campground electrical work and bathhouse roof, tables new signage
Summary
The Wilton Village Board on Feb. 9 directed staff to solicit bids for electrical upgrades and a new roof at the village campground while tabling a proposal for new signage; motions passed unanimously.
At its Feb. 9 meeting the Village of Wilton Board directed staff to solicit competitive bids for electrical upgrades at the village campground and for a new roof on the campground bathhouse, while tabling a separate motion on new signage.
The board identified the campground’s immediate needs — a new site map and signage covering rules, regulations and pricing, plus electrical work and a replacement roof for the bathhouse. Wallman moved to table the signage proposal; Thompson seconded the motion and the board voted all in favor. Bever then moved, and Wallman seconded, to solicit bids for the campground electrical improvements; the motion carried unanimously. Short moved, and O'Rourke seconded, to solicit bids for a new bathhouse roof; that motion also passed without opposition.
The actions were procedural authorizations to obtain cost estimates; no specific contractors or dollar figures were approved at the meeting. The board did not set a public timeline for return of the bids, and there was no discussion of how projects would be funded at this meeting.
Village staff said the campground also needs an updated site map and clearer posted rules and pricing, but the board chose to address signage separately after tabling the initial proposal. The board’s votes allow staff to gather estimates and return to the board with bids and recommended next steps.
Next steps: staff will solicit bids for electrical and roofing work and report back to the board; timing and funding details were not specified during the meeting.
