Board discusses equipment fund, timesheets and crack‑sealer pickup reimbursement
Summary
Tinmouth select board members discussed the equipment‑fund planning, the need for timesheets or a time clock for staff, and reimbursing two people who picked up a crack‑sealing machine after the town crew declined; members agreed to provide timesheets and investigate equipment‑fund options.
Select board members used the June 12 meeting to discuss equipment‑fund planning, employee timekeeping and a recent equipment pickup. Speaker 2 reported that Kathy will refine equipment‑fund proposals and the board agreed to consider a July special meeting to review the equipment schedule and potential replacement timing (including whether to replace a chipper now or delay).
The Chair described driving to New Hampshire with an assistant to collect a crack‑sealing machine and 5 tons of rubber after the crew did not do it and asked whether the board would approve paying both people for the day; she suggested $15.50 each. Board members said that if crew members refused the task, it's fair to compensate those who volunteered. The board also discussed developing a timesheet or time‑clock process and asked staff to check what the road foreman (Eric) is already tracking and to review online templates or apps.
Members agreed staff will provide paper timesheets for the two people to submit hours for reimbursement and to follow up on an equipment‑fund special meeting and maintenance reporting templates.
