Selectboard accepts lower insurance for sole‑proprietor archaeological contractor at Tucker Mountain
Summary
Tom Kidder reported that a retired UVM professor volunteered as the archaeological contractor for Tucker Mountain Town Forest; because the contractor is a sole proprietor with no employees, the Board agreed to accept a lower level of insurance than usually required and discussed possible trail routing impacts depending on dig results.
Tucker Mountain Town Forest Management Committee Chair Tom Kidder told the Selectboard that a contractor—a retired University of Vermont professor—has volunteered to perform the mandated archaeological dig. The minutes state the contractor is a sole proprietor with no employees; given that status the Board agreed to accept a lower level of insurance than would otherwise be required.
Mr. Kidder and the Board discussed potential implications for routing and construction of the planned all-persons access trail depending on what the archaeological dig finds. The minutes do not specify the contractor's name, the exact insurance threshold accepted, or the dig timeline; Mr. Kidder then exited the meeting.
