Sutton urged to update culvert inventory and move Orange Book appendices online
Summary
Vermont AOT recommended Sutton update its online culvert records to reflect upsized replacements to improve grant competitiveness and reported plans to remove appendix forms from the Orange Book in favor of online links for easier updates.
At the March 11 special meeting, Vermont AOT representative Logan Perron told Sutton officials they should update the town’s online culvert inventory to include upsized replacement work that has already been completed. Perron said keeping the map current will improve the town’s chances when applying for grants.
Perron also described a planned change to the widely used 'Orange Book' guidance: appendix forms will be removed from the printed manual and replaced by online links, enabling the town to update appendices without republishing the entire book. Highway Foreman Shane Heath and town staff acknowledged the need to synchronize local records with the online systems Perron described.
Town staff did not set a formal timeline in the March 11 session but took Perron’s recommendations as direction for asset-management updates ahead of future grant applications.
