Town to buy safety gear; contractor to be billed for incomplete fiber work
Summary
Insurance review prompted a request to purchase $860.72 in safety equipment (drill‑press guard, chainsaw chaps and helmet) with a grant covering half. A fibernet contractor failed to meet town specs; the company will be billed for truck, labor and crusher‑run gravel to repair the road.
An insurance inspection of equipment at the town garage identified needed safety items—including a guard for the drill press, chainsaw chaps and a helmet—with a combined estimate of $860.72. The minutes note a grant was available and applied for that would cover half the cost, with the town responsible for the remaining half.
Separately, a contractor that dug across a town road during fibernet work did not complete restoration to town specifications. The town will bill the company for a truck, labor hours and a load of crusher‑run gravel needed to fix the roadway; pavement repairs on Knowles Flat that were promised by Eustis Cable also remain outstanding and Melissa Whitcomb will follow up with the company for an update.
