Sutton clerk to seek phone and internet upgrades after outages
Summary
Town Clerk/Treasurer Patti McClure reported repeated outages that left the Fire Department without internet and said she will research new phone and internet systems for the town offices and firehouse and present recommendations at the next meeting.
Sutton Town Clerk/Treasurer Patti McClure told the Select Board that internet service at the fire department “does not work most of the time” and that phone lines at both the Town Office and Fire Department are old Consolidated wiring. Because the outage prevented use of Zoom, McClure said she will investigate replacement phone and internet systems for both facilities and bring a recommendation to the board at its next meeting.
The issue arose during new business after the board recorded routine motions to accept minutes and the treasurer’s report. McClure cited a related problem the previous night, when the Development Review Board (DRB) was unable to hold its meeting remotely because of the same connectivity problems. The Select Board did not set a procurement timeline at the meeting; McClure will return with specific options and cost information for the board to consider.
