Highway foreman reports trucks back in service, warns of high sand usage
Summary
Highway Foreman Mike Hastings told the Selectboard all trucks are back in service but raised concern that the Highway Department's initial sand supply of 8,000 yards "may not be enough," and noted there are no applicants yet for an open crew position.
Highway Foreman Mike Hastings reported that all town trucks are back in service and flagged unusually high sand consumption this season. Hastings said the Highway Department's initial supply was 8,000 yards and that the amount "may not be enough" to meet the need; he noted additional sand can be ordered if required. He also said there were no applications yet for the vacancy on the crew.
Board members took the operational update as context for near-term capital and budget decisions. Selectboard member Shauna Prime said she and Hastings are preparing a structures grant application for culvert work, with another grant application due Feb. 2, which could affect budgeting for winter operations and capital projects.
