Select Board updates county contracts: fire coverage increased; transfer-station and winter-road contracts revised
Summary
The board approved increasing the Oxford County fire coverage contract to $11,650, accepted a Transfer Station contract for $10,800, and approved revised winter/road maintenance rates for 2026–27 while asking for year-round contract language changes.
The Select Board voted to increase the Oxford County fire coverage contract to $11,650 to account for inflation since 2022; the board asked that contract language be revised to remove outdated references (such as the Transfer Station) and Sue Mills agreed to have JA review updated verbiage.
The board approved a Transfer Station contract for $10,800 and approved revised Oxford County Road Maintenance Service rates for 2026/27 (truck $79/hr, backhoe $129/hr, chainsaw $15, hourly labor $65 and Winter Roads $10,025 x 6 months). Chair Brian Mills observed the winter-road line reads as winter-only and said, “this reads as only winter road maintenance; we need it to be year-round,” and the board moved to approve the revised rates after rescinding earlier recommendations.
