Select Board approves consent items, authorizes inspections spending
Summary
The board approved routine consent items including minutes and a retroactive inspection payment of $7,046.80; it also authorized the highway foreman to arrange necessary inspections for trucks, after public comments urging competitive pricing.
The Johnson Select Board approved minutes from April 7 and 21 and retroactively approved a $7,046.80 inspection bill for a dump truck as part of the consent agenda. A board member moved and the board carried the consent items by voice vote.
Board discussion then produced a motion to authorize the highway foreman to spend what is necessary to get town trucks inspected when required, with members asking staff to seek competitive options and multiple quotes where feasible. One public commenter suggested checking inspection vendors outside the immediate area to reduce costs; board members agreed there was value in getting multiple quotes before larger purchases.
