Selectboard discusses speed-radar data, welding equipment purchase and Wellness Center presentation request
Summary
The board asked staff to collect mobile speed-radar data before deciding on a $10,000 purchase, agreed to delay welding equipment purchase until next year, and invited Sarah Hartman to schedule an agenda slot to discuss her proposed Wellness Center.
Selectboard Chair Tim McGowan raised questions about how long the mobile speed-radar unit is on loan from the Vermont State Police and whether the collected data will be sufficient to justify using the $10,000 allocated in the budget to buy a similar unit. McGowan proposed that staff review the radar data before committing town funds.
The board agreed that buying welding equipment for the Highway Department is a valuable investment but that it is best to wait until next year’s budget cycle to purchase it. Sarah Hartman joined the meeting by Zoom to inquire about presenting plans for a Lincoln-based Wellness Center and was told to coordinate with the Selectboard Administrative Assistant to have the item added to a future agenda. These items were recorded as new business and will be revisited with data or more detailed proposals.
