Proctor selectboard agrees to temporary fix for fire station after engineers' report
Summary
After a DuBois & King engineers' final report, the Selectboard agreed by consensus to pursue a temporary repair so fire trucks can remain at the Proctor fire station this winter; the Town Manager will solicit price estimates and a follow-up group will study long-term options.
The Town of Proctor Selectboard on Sept. 23 agreed to pursue a temporary repair at the Proctor fire station following a final engineering report from DuBois & King.
Josh Webb, identified in the minutes as PVFD chief, presented the engineers' findings and recommended a temporary fix to allow fire apparatus to remain at the station through the winter. The board reached a consensus to proceed with that temporary repair and Town Manager Judy Frazier said she would obtain price estimates. The minutes note there may be only one company that performs the temporary work.
The board also directed that, once the temporary fix is completed, a group will convene to examine long-term options and estimated costs for a permanent solution. No formal motion or vote on a long-range plan was recorded in the minutes; the immediate action is limited to pursuing the short-term repair and cost estimates.
The discussion came under the meeting's general business section, where the board dealt with multiple routine and project updates. The Selectboard did not set a schedule for the follow-up group's work in the minutes; the Town Manager will coordinate next steps.
Proctor residents and officials seeking the detailed DuBois & King report or cost estimates are directed to contact the Town Manager's office, which the minutes record as the responsible office for follow-up.
