Road foreman reports spring work and turbine removal; town to send turbine to Canada for refurbishment
Summary
Road foreman reported tree cutting, new grader roller use, lawn mowing and winter-sand hauling; the board learned a hydroelectric turbine is being removed for refurbishment in Canada and is expected to return in November, with related crane and traffic impacts.
Matt Brogden briefed the board on highway activity since the last meeting: the crew has used a new roller on the grader, completed tree cutting on multiple roads, reassembled the mower after sweeping and started hauling winter sand. He said the roadside mower will be prepared to address invasive parsnip growth.
Bro gden updated the board on a local hydroelectric project's maintenance: a turbine is being removed and sent to Canada for rebuilding — it will be modified from four fins to five to generate more power with less water — and the crane work required overweight truck staging and temporary traffic impacts; the turbine is expected to return around November. Board members and residents asked about paving priorities and crack sealing schedules ahead of summer paving work.
