Supervisor reports street-sign updates, equipment purchases and leak repairs
Summary
Supervisor Jeff updated the council on slow winter maintenance, upcoming equipment deliveries (maintainer, street sander), a plan to update signage on the north side of town, and temporary repairs to a significant water leak in the low zone.
In his supervisor report, Jeff said winter maintenance activity remains light, crews are keeping up with vehicle and equipment maintenance, and the town ordered and received summer weed-killer supplies. He said the town's summer project includes bringing north-side signage up to code; posts and street signs have been ordered and brackets are being installed.
Jeff described a substantial leak in the low zone discovered while crews were driving town equipment; crews made a temporary repair and will investigate whether the line is potable or raw. He said the town sold an older maintainer to a local buyer, ordered a replacement front blade assembly, and expects a new unit shortly; a new street sander that must be built to fit town trucks was also ordered with expected delivery in August.
Jeff's report included operational details on maintenance schedules and procurement; no council action was required although members discussed options to investigate and, if necessary, remove abandoned or improperly repaired service lines.
