Road foreman says crew "working tirelessly" as town uses extra salt this winter
Summary
Road Foreman Jeff Yrsha told the Selectboard the crew has been "working tirelessly to manage the snow," equipment is in good condition, and Chair Denis Benson authorized additional salt purchases to keep roads safe during an intensive winter season.
Jeff Yrsha, the town's road foreman, told the Selectboard the crew has been "working tirelessly to manage the snow," and reported that "all equipment is in good working order" while noting the town has used a significant amount of road salt this winter. Chair Denis Benson said Mr. Yrsha should purchase salt "as he saw fit," giving staff discretion to respond to ongoing winter needs.
The discussion was a routine operations update during which the board affirmed existing maintenance practices rather than approving new spending. The exchange underscores immediate operational pressures on road maintenance during the winter season; no ordinance, new contract, or additional appropriation was recorded in the minutes.
