Council discusses street-salting gaps and a parked bus on Short Street
Summary
Council member Susan Parkman asked why streets were not salted and requested more salt be used; Jay Roberts said the salt spreader was not working and was being repaired. Parkman also asked for other towing options after the tow company used previously declined to remove a bus on Short Street.
Council member Susan Parkman raised concerns about roadside maintenance and a parked bus on Short Street during new business added to the agenda.
Parkman said she wanted to know why streets had not been salted and that she would "like to see more salt used on the streets." Water Superintendent Jay Roberts replied the salt spreader "was not working correctly and that it was being fixed." The transcript does not enumerate which streets are prioritized for salting or specify a schedule for when the spreader would be back in service.
Parkman also asked about a bus on Short Street and said she would like it to be towed; Roberts said he had spoken with the owner but that the tow company previously used by the village "wants nothing to do with it" and that other tow companies should be contacted. The minutes record no subsequent direction or vote on towing the vehicle.
