Council approves local electrician as preapproved contractor

The council voted to add a local electrical contractor to the town’s preapproved list so the firm can respond quickly to emergency repairs and regular maintenance. The Chair asked for a motion to approve the electrician as an approved contractor for the town; the motion was seconded and members present voted 'Aye.'

Board members discussed the new rule that subcontractors must be preapproved and noted the approval was intended to avoid service interruptions at critical facilities such as the wastewater plant. The motion and second were recorded in the transcript, and the vote carried without recorded opposition in the meeting record.
