Summary

During public comment, residents raised concerns about town audit timing and road maintenance, including substandard work on Tucker Road and a recommendation to repair rather than replace a grader. The Selectboard directed citizens to contact the Town Clerk or Road Foreman and noted corrective work is expected.

At the April 27 Selectboard meeting, several residents used the public-comment period to press the board on internal audits and road maintenance.

Resident Kevin Wilson asked about discrepancies in the status of town audits; minutes record a clarification that the 2022 audit is underway while the 2024 audit has not yet begun. Jim Wild asked about communication between the Selectboard and the road crew and raised concerns about substandard work on Tucker Road; the board said corrective work is expected this year and advised residents to direct road concerns to the Town Clerk or the Road Foreman. Tim Stone asked whether the grader should be repaired rather than replaced and was directed to the updated budget for more information.

The minutes note that the Road Foreman oversees operations and that the board encouraged continued communication with town staff. No formal action or vote followed these comments; topics were discussed and referred to staff for follow-up.
