Roads commissioner reports ditching, scheduled tree work and delayed new truck delivery
Summary
Road Commissioner Bruce Many reported ditching on Cobble Road, scheduled tree service for Munger Street, a potential future roadside mower replacement, delayed new truck possession until the truck body is installed, and above-budget repairs for a 2014 International truck.
Road Commissioner Bruce Many updated the Selectboard on maintenance and equipment issues, reporting that ditching work will continue on Cobble Road and then move to Munger Street and that the town is scheduled for Sunderland Tree Service work on Munger Street.
Many said the roadside mower currently used is not as heavy duty as the crew expected and that the town may need to purchase a heavier mower in a few years. He also said the new truck is awaiting the truck body and the crew hopes to take possession this fall. Many noted that repairs to the 2014 International truck have exceeded budgeted amounts after years without major investment.
Board members did not record formal motions on these updates but agreed to defer capital replacement decisions until further review of costs and schedules.
