Selectboard delays major equipment purchases; generator repair quoted at $7,665
Summary
After reviewing a road improvement and equipment-rotation finance overview, the Selectboard agreed not to rush big purchases; Milton Cat estimated generator repair at $7,665 and the board asked Town Administrator Cathy Ainsworth to get additional quotes from two local contractors.
Town Administrator Cathy Ainsworth presented a draft finance overview for road improvements and equipment rotation, outlining revenue, expenses, assets and liabilities to help prioritize projects and purchases. Board member Brian Dubie said the overview could guide planning, and the Selectboard agreed to continue discussion rather than rushing into large equipment purchases; Maurice Jettie said he is getting a second bid on a mower.
Cathy reported that Milton Cat estimated $7,665 to repair the town generator and the board requested additional quotes from Jamie Vaillancourt and Tom Ryan before authorizing repairs. No vote was taken; staff were asked to return with comparative quotes.
