Summary
The Springfield Selectmen authorized two spending motions Feb. 24: up to $1,000 to repair and modify the highway garage storage area and up to $1,600 to repair rot at the town meetinghouse; both motions were moved by Selectman Steve Dzubak, seconded by Chair Poul Heilmann and approved by recorded votes.
The Springfield Board of Selectmen approved two repair expenditures during its Feb. 24 meeting.
Selectman Steve Dzubak presented quotes from contractor Chris Gaherty: $1,000 to repair and modify the storage area at the highway garage and $1,600 to repair rot at the town meetinghouse. "Steve made a motion to spend up to $1,000 to repair and modify the storage area at the highway garage." The motion was seconded by Poul Heilmann; both voted in favor. Later in the meeting Steve moved "to spend up to $1600 for Chris Gaherty to repair the rotted areas on the town meetinghouse." That motion was also seconded by Poul Heilmann and passed with the same recorded votes.
The minutes show these were authorizations to contract and spend up to the quoted amounts; the record does not include additional details about contract terms, timelines, or funding sources. Poul Heilmann asked about painting railings at the town office and asked Steve to add the task to the project list; no separate spending motion for painting was recorded in the minutes.
