Proctor Selectboard authorizes town manager to finalize WWTF electrical contract and reviews paving bids
Summary
At its June 24 meeting the Proctor Selectboard authorized the town manager to sign an electrical contract for the wastewater treatment facility after engineering review, reviewed two paving bids and appointed Jason Ellison to the Parks & Recreation Committee; several water and sewer follow-ups were scheduled.
The Town of Proctor Selectboard on June 24 authorized the town manager to finalize an electrical contract for work at the wastewater treatment facility (WWTF) pending review and approval by DuBois & King, the town’s engineering consultant.
The unanimous motion, made by Selectboard member Linda Doty and seconded by Albert Wenta, followed receipt of a single electrical bid from Duchene Electric for $10,000. The board also reviewed two bids for Summer 2025 highway paving — Pike at $195,038.00 and Wilk at $150,696.90 — and authorized the town manager to sign a paving contract after staff review and confirmation of paving funding (motion by Jay Thorton, seconded by Linda Doty). Both motions passed unanimously.
The board signed selectboard orders totaling $57,395.77 during the meeting and appointed Jason Ellison to the Parks and Recreation Committee for a two-year term. The appointment was moved by Albert Wenta, seconded by Jay Thorton and approved unanimously.
Selectboard members convened separately as the Board of Water Commissioners and scheduled a review of the town’s Public Drinking Water System Rules & Regulation (adopted 2018) for the July 14, 2025 meeting; members said they will address and prioritize definitions flagged as concerning. The Board of Sewer Commissioners discussed an upcoming sludge removal and directed staff to have DuBois & King review an electrical quote because the electrical work must be completed before sludge removal proceeds.
In departmental reports the town manager said GW Paving completed the East Street project and the town distributed the 2024 Consumer Confidence Report for water. She reported meeting with Jeff Lewis on an asset management plan related to water and sludge removal at the WWTF, removal of speed limit signs at 219 South Street for a cited violation (minutes reference 10 VSA 495 and 23 VSA 1027), a Clean Water Funding grant agreement to support a road erosion inventory (in‑kind match from the DPW crew), and a regional emergency management meeting. The minutes list a mosquito spraying entry with the date shown as “6/12/15”; that year appears to be a typographical error and was not clarified during the meeting.
The board circulated the Sullivan & Powers audit contract for signatures and closed the meeting at 6:57 p.m. with a unanimous adjournment motion by Albert Wenta, seconded by Jay Thorton.
Votes at a glance: motions recorded in the minutes were unanimous; recorded movers and seconders are listed in the meeting record.
