Select Board approves DuBois & King assessment for Morgan Horse Farm Road slide
Summary
Weybridge Select Board voted to hire DuBois & King for a geotechnical assessment of a recurring slide on Morgan Horse Farm Road, to be paid from remaining FY26 budget funds and, if necessary, the town reserve fund; paperwork will be signed and submitted to obtain later grant funding.
The Weybridge Select Board voted to move forward with a DuBois & King engineering assessment of a slide near Morgan Horse Farm Road, approving the scope and a funding plan that uses any remaining FY26 budget balances first and the town reserve fund for the shortfall if needed. The motion was made and approved by voice vote; the board arranged for a member to sign the assessment contract so the consultant can begin subsurface sampling and a slope-stability analysis.
The Staff member described the consultant proposal as an initial diagnostic step: "This is a proposal of things they're gonna do just to figure out what's going on." Board members repeatedly stressed that an assessment is needed before the town can apply for grants or design a lasting repair. One member framed the financing approach as cautious: the motion requires using any remaining FY26 funds first and tapping reserves only if necessary. The board approved the measure and instructed staff to forward the signed paperwork the following day.
