Selectboard reviews highway plans, approves snowmobile route and considers gravel stockpile
Summary
The board discussed crushing 4,000–6,000 yards of gravel to stockpile if budget permits, approved a request allowing Gihon Trak Packers snowmobiles to use town road shoulders, and directed contractors to re-locate a misplaced dry hydrant at Boy Scout Road.
The highway department report covered several operational items. The board discussed a proposal to crush 4,000–6,000 yards of gravel (Harvey’s) to stockpile for next spring as a possible cost-saving measure if funds remain in the highway budget; the board will revisit the matter later in the fiscal year.
Ricky Morin moved and Clayton Whittemore seconded a motion approving a request by Gihon Trak Packers to allow snowmobiles to run along the side of Thompson Road and White Road to the corner of Paranto Road; the motion passed. Other highway items included mailbox reviews on Knowles Flat and Camp Road, a landowner driveway permit on North Road (Ricky to follow up), a requirement that any line across the road be installed by directional drilling rather than open-cut, and instruction that the contractor return to re-locate a dry hydrant at the Boy Scout Road box culvert to its original position.
