Select Board approves up to $5,000 for hazardous tree removals on town green and cemetery
Summary
The board accepted a bid for the removal of five to six hazardous trees for $3,600 and amended the motion to authorize up to $5,000 (approx. seven trees). The board approved the contract and directed contact with SS Tree Care LLC to proceed.
The board reviewed an estimate to remove hazardous trees on the town green and in the cemetery and voted to accept the bid. The original written estimate discussed at the meeting totaled $3,400 and was later referenced in discussion as $3,600 for five trees; the board amended the motion to authorize up to $5,000 to allow for additional work as needed.
Acting Chair moved to accept the bid and then amended the motion to say "up to $5,000," which the board seconded and approved by voice vote; the board asked Tammy to tell the contractor SS Tree Care LLC that the work was approved and could proceed. The town will negotiate on‑site if additional trees need removal.
