Summary
The Sanbornton Selectboard approved a $652,800 paving and gravel road plan and authorized the Highway Department director to sign the contract. The measure passed unanimously after the director presented quotes and a prioritized list of roads.
The Sanbornton Board of Selectmen on May 6 approved a $652,800 paving and gravel road plan and authorized Highway Department Director Johnny Van Tassel to sign the contract on the town’s behalf.
Selectman Ralph Carter moved to approve the Highway Department’s plan, which Selectman Mark Brown seconded; the motion passed unanimously. Van Tassel told the board he received quotes from GMI and outlined work including shim-and-overlay and shoulder work on Burleigh Hill Road and Prescott Road and box outs on Hermit Woods Road.
The decision follows ongoing discussion about the town’s road-maintenance budget and resident expectations for road condition. Selectman Brown said residents should be educated about the cost of maintaining roads and what the town can deliver with a roughly $750,000 annual roads appropriation. The board approved the specific contract amount of $652,800 as presented.
The board’s action authorizes the Highway Department to proceed with the identified contracts and repairs; no amendments were recorded during the meeting.
