Committee backs $900K road program, sidewalks and garage vehicle replacement
Summary
Budget committee recommended a $900,000 town road upgrades article, a $75,000 sidewalk repair article, and a $285,000 public-works vehicle replacement (with a 70% grant). Public works staff noted downtown sidewalks and ADA spots as priorities.
The committee recommended multiple infrastructure warrants covering roads, sidewalks and a public-works truck with grant support.
Manager and public works presenters described the $900,000 annual appropriation for road repairs and drainage engineering; the project matrix was referenced for prioritization. On sidewalks, Steve Randall (public works director; speaker 19) said the sidewalk article targets spot repairs in the downtown area and some ADA fixes: "We have, at least a dozen downtown area, all the concrete sidewalks. Those are on the list." The committee also recommended a $285,000 replacement of a class 6 or class 8 dump truck; the town will use a 70% Granite State Clean Fleets grant ($187,897.50) and the remainder ($97,102.50) will be raised by taxation.
The committee recommended the road, sidewalk and vehicle-replacement articles (roll-call votes recorded in favor). Officials urged the public that some projects are spot repairs and that larger engineering projects (stormwater/main-street work) may be phased separately.
