Town hall repairs, town picnic parking and church LiDAR follow-up on New Ashford Select Board agenda
Summary
The board discussed received LiDAR scans for the church and plans to meet with GNCB for a $500 walkthrough, paving and handrail work at the town hall, possible railing upgrades, basement rot assessment, and parking arrangements for the town picnic.
The New Ashford Select Board on July 6 reviewed several infrastructure and property items, including LiDAR scans of the church, planned paving at the town hall, and parking arrangements for the upcoming town picnic.
Board members said the town has received LiDAR scans of the church property and that the next step is scheduling a walkthrough with Roxanne Brown from GNCB; the consultant's walkthrough and recommendations would cost $500. The board did not vote to authorize the fee at the July 6 meeting but identified the meeting with GNCB as the next action.
Road Commissioner Keith Lacasse reported he will pave at the town hall and fill in the end of a new ramp, finish the handrails this week and recommended adding two rows of vinyl planks to the railing. Lacasse said he replaced flashing after carpenter-ant damage, fixed two cracks in the basement walls and recommended the basement ceiling near the steps be assessed for rot.
Lacasse also reported no beaver activity and said he will dig out the island between two culverts on Ingraham Road to create a larger water pocket to support fire-department access during emergencies. The Old Schoolhouse will be open during the town picnic; resident Steve Nielsen agreed to allow use of his land for picnic parking. The board noted the mini-split in the internet hut may need filter maintenance and that a temperature sensor will alert staff if temperatures rise too high.
Wireless equipment for the fire station and church has arrived. Chair Jason Jayko said he will replace the side-door battery at the town hall and that the front door needs new weather stripping. The board did not take further action at the meeting and scheduled routine follow-up as needed.
