Highway superintendent flags equipment problems; board to review USDA plow truck grant
Summary
Highway Superintendent Wyatt Boswell reported mechanical issues—gearbox needed for aerator, Truck 19 with an exhaust leak, one pickup out of service—and suggested buying a backhoe or excavator; the board will also review a USDA grant application for a new plow truck.
Wyatt Boswell, the Highway Superintendent, told the board he is looking for a gearbox for the aerator at the sewer plant, said Truck 19 has an exhaust leak, and reported that one of the pickup trucks is down. Wyatt advised against trading in the town tractor and recommended the board consider purchasing a backhoe or excavator; the board directed him to discuss funding possibilities with 'Amy.'
Separately, the board said it will review a USDA grant application to purchase a new plow truck. No decision or commitment to apply was recorded in the minutes; the items were placed on the board's review list for future action.
