Selectboard authorizes purchase of cordless saws and batteries if Home Depot deal holds
Summary
The board authorized a selectboard member to buy two Milwaukee cordless kits (batteries + charger + tool) for town use if the Father's Day promotion remained available, citing aging batteries and expected savings on fuel and maintenance.
Selectboard members discussed replacing aging cordless tool batteries and unanimously authorized a selectboard member to purchase two Home Depot promotional kits if the deal was still available. A committee member described the promotion—"2 batteries, 1 free tool"—as a limited-time Father's Day offer and said acquiring kits would let the town avoid gasoline-powered saws and reduce emissions in trucks.
Members agreed to place funds into the town debit card account and to authorize Kevin (a selectboard member referenced in the packet) to complete the purchase if the deal matched what staff described. The board moved and seconded a motion to authorize the purchase and voted in favor.
