Selectboard approves warrants; package includes $225,000 invoice to Avery Excavation
Summary
The Brookfield Selectboard approved payroll and warrants covering mid‑July, accepting a warrants package whose full total was stated as $305,456.99; the largest single invoice in the packet was an apparent $225,000 payment to Avery Excavation.
The Brookfield Selectboard reviewed payroll and warrants for the period noted and voted to approve the warrants package by voice vote.
During the discussion the clerk read a weekly warrants subtotal of $29,811.43 and identified a large single invoice earlier in the package; later the board clarified the full package total was $305,456.99. A board member named Avery Excavation as the recipient of the largest invoice ($225,000). “The total is $305,456.99. And the largest of those goes to Avery excavation, 225,000,” a member said.
Board members discussed timing of other invoices (Parker Road, McCabe) that arrived too late to be included and confirmed they could add those in the next cycle. Members also noted prior partial payments had been made for steel purchases on an earlier bridge project and discussed field work upcoming in mid‑August.
The motion to accept the warrants as presented was made, seconded and carried by voice vote; the meeting record does not list individual roll-call votes in the transcript.
