Town to switch Town Hall internet to Starlink; initial equipment cost $2,000
Summary
Trustees voted to change Town Hall internet service from Hilltop to Starlink after staff said the current provider frequently drops service; the board noted a $2,000 initial equipment cost and no increase in monthly payment.
Erin Christie told the Board of Trustees that Town Hall frequently loses internet service with the current provider (Hilltop). She said Starlink provides stronger coverage and that the monthly payment would be the same as under Hilltop, but the initial equipment purchase would cost $2,000. On a motion by Mr. Wilhelm and a second by Mr. Jagow, the board approved switching the town’s internet service to Starlink.
The minutes record no further conditions or procurement details; the clerk will oversee installation and payment. Trustees did not record a formal competitive-bid discussion in the minutes during this meeting.
