Board debates cleaning‑contract insurance requirement; member suggests part‑time town hire
Summary
Select Board members discussed requiring cleaning contractors to carry insurance and workers' compensation and considered hiring a part‑time town employee to cover cleaning of town buildings as a potentially less expensive alternative; the decision was tabled until further discussion with staff.
The Select Board reviewed the town's approach to its cleaning contract and an RFP requirement that contractors carry insurance and workers' compensation. Grant suggested hiring a part‑time employee to clean town buildings could be less costly than contracting with an insured vendor.
Coleman proposed tabling the matter until Scott Bushee could join a discussion; the current cleaning contract expires in June 2026. The board also noted the Beautification Committee's contract for seasonal flowers and asked to review that contract at the next meeting.
