Selectboard hears highway winter plan; member flags fiber installations laid on road
Summary
Highway crew will prepare for winter; a resident offered to work part-time as a truck driver and the board recorded concerns that FIDIUM FIBER installations may have been placed on top of the roadway and lack permits.
The highway department reported preparations for the winter season — hauling sand, maintaining equipment and possibly ordering hot mix to patch asphalt where needed. The minutes note that Steve Bishop offered to work as a part-time truck driver and that he has been drug tested and cleared to work.
Selectboard member Ricky Morin raised concerns about FIDIUM FIBER installations that he said were not done according to town specifications, including locations where cable had been laid on top of the road and no right-of-way permits appeared to have been obtained. The board emphasized the importance of correct installation to avoid repeated repairs.
