Council approves three-year salt agreement capped at $45,000
Summary
The council unanimously approved motion 20-26-44, a three-year salt supply agreement with a not-to-exceed amount of $45,000; staff said recent winters consumed far less than the cap.
Council approved a three-year salt agreement (motion 20-26-44) to support winter operations with a not-to-exceed amount of $45,000.
Public works and accounting staff told the council the town has not historically used the contract cap—over the last three winters the town’s salt expenditures totaled roughly $11,000. Chair (Speaker 2) called for the motion; after a mover and second the council voted unanimously in favor. "All in favor, say aye," the Chair said; the clerk recorded the vote as unanimous with all council members present.
The contract covers typical winter de-icing materials; staff said they do not expect to approach the cap under normal conditions but recommended keeping the authorization as a contingency ahead of winter.
