Tunbridge road crew reports transmission rust and low salt supply; sanding planned
Summary
Road Report delivered via Selectboard member Mike McPhetres relayed that the ton truck's coolant line for the transmission is rusting out and that the crew is nearly out of salt; the crew will sand Spring Road and Strafford Road and keep a small emergency salt supply.
Selectboard Vice Chair Mike McPhetres reported the road crew update on behalf of road foreman Rodney Hoyt. McPhetres said the "ton truck coolant line for the transmission started rusting out," and that Hoyt is nearly out of salt, keeping only a small supply for emergencies. Because salt reserves are low, the crew plans to sand Spring Road and Strafford Road for upcoming winter conditions.
The report was presented as an operational update; no emergency purchases or budget allocations were recorded in the meeting minutes. The board acknowledged the maintenance needs and the immediate plan to sand priority roads while monitoring materials and equipment needs.
