Selectboard discusses contracting road agent role with local contractor; sewer pipe replacement required before work
Summary
At the Jan. 13 Selectboard meeting, contractor Mike Lynch discussed serving as the town's contracted road agent for winter and summer maintenance. The board said a sewer clay pipe on Stevens Terrace must be replaced before road work can proceed; the board will review documents and consult Mr. LaFrance.
Mike Lynch met with the Town of Stratford Selectboard on Jan. 13 to discuss his winter and summer road maintenance contracts and the possibility of serving as the town's contracted road agent.
The discussion centered on having Lynch coordinate road work with the Selectboard and with Mr. LaFrance, who the board indicated must be consulted before a final decision. Board members told Lynch that repairs to a sewer clay pipe on Stevens Terrace must be completed before any road work there could begin.
Why it matters: appointing a contracted road agent would centralize responsibility for maintenance scheduling and contractor oversight, and the Stevens Terrace sewer condition creates a prerequisite that could delay repaving or other work.
Details: Lynch presented the contracts and discussed operational coordination with town staff and the Selectboard. The board did not take a vote and said members would review the submitted information and meet with Mr. LaFrance upon his return to resolve outstanding questions.
Next steps: The Selectboard will review Lynch's contract materials and consult Mr. LaFrance; no formal action was recorded at the Jan. 13 meeting.
