Highway superintendent urges sticking to sign budget and proposes salt-only winter plan
Summary
Highway Superintendent Wyatt Boswell reported staffing and training updates, recommended staying within the $1,500 annual sign budget despite roughly $6,000 in needed sign replacements, and proposed switching to salt-only in the hamlet with a county salt order deadline of Feb. 17.
Wyatt Boswell, the town's Highway Superintendent, reported several truck repairs are complete, that a staffer named Zach is plowing independently, and that others are pursuing training: "Zach is trained and is out plowing on his own," and Evan is enrolled in sewer classes. Boswell provided cost estimates for driver licensing classes (Update B to A $4,200; Class A $7,000) and said Derek is interested in upgrading his license.
Boswell also addressed signage and winter materials: he noted the downtown sign is functional but said "roughly $6,000.00 worth of signs need to be replaced" while there is a $1,500 per-year sign budget and the board instructed him to "stick with the budget." He requested to reserve the county salt order by Feb. 17 and proposed using salt only in the hamlet to reduce spring cleanup; the board asked him to get truck pricing for a potential replacement.
