Summary

The board approved a limited-services contract with Benjamin’s Tree Removal & Excavating, LLC for plowing/mowing services but excluded a $180 trimming charge for the town garage; the motion passed unanimously.

The Town of Ira Select Board voted to accept the FY27 limited-services contract with Benjamin’s Tree Removal & Excavating, LLC, but directed staff to remove the $180 trimming line-item for work at the town garage. Nathan Hewitt moved to accept the contract with that specific deduction; Darin May seconded and the motion passed unanimously.

The contract award covers plowing and mowing services for the coming fiscal year. The board said it reviewed other contract submissions (not all named in the minutes) and took the award after discussion; a special meeting will be scheduled separately to review a mowing contract proposed by an interested party from West Rutland if and when that draft contract is received.
