Highway staff reported ongoing roadside mowing and grading, progress on grant-funded work on Bear Hill, and continued difficulty in renting an excavator; staff expected an update on availability by midweek.

The staff member also reported the town's old fuel system had been removed and a new above-ground diesel fuel tank with a keypad-access system installed to allow divided use among users. "The old fuel system is all completely removed, which has been a while, but the new one is installed up and running with a keypad system," the staff member said. He described the installation as an upgrade intended to streamline fueling among departments and contractors. The staff member also suggested the board go into executive session later for a personnel matter related to employees.
