Town board authorizes seasonal highway hire, gets roadwork update
Summary
The town board authorized Highway Department official Darren to hire a seasonal employee (Tom Atkinson) and heard a report that crews produced roughly 500 tons of graded caps for upcoming paving on local roads.
The town board voted to authorize Highway Department official Darren to hire a seasonal part‑time employee, approving the appointment of Tom Atkinson for summer help.
Chair said the hire is covered under the current budget and moved to authorize the hire; the motion carried. Darren told the board crews had produced about 500 tons of graded caps and planned to apply the material to roads including Sharon Rose Lane and Talent Terrace, with paving possibly starting next week on Sherwood Road.
Why it matters: the seasonal hire will provide additional labor for planned roadwork as the town moves into paving season. Board members said the position was already budgeted and authorized taking action now to avoid delays.
Darren described the timeline for applying base material and said paving schedules remain flexible. The board accepted the Highway Department report by voice vote and carried the motion.
What's next: Darren will proceed with hiring and the board will review any contract bids and schedules for paving at upcoming meetings.
