Residents report 2 a.m. dump-truck noise and weight-limit concerns; town to investigate; public works seeks equipment quotes
Summary
Residents reported early-morning dump-truck noise and possible weight-limit violations; the town will send a letter to the violator and check state decibel standards. Public Works presented a $6,456.45 quote for a snow blower and commercial salt spreader and was asked to seek additional quotes and a second snowplow estimate.
At the Feb. 4 meeting, David Billings told the council that his neighbor "is starting his dump truck at 2 am and letting it run," which he said violates the town noise ordinance and posted weight limits; John Evans said he experiences the same issue and that the truck exhaust has been modified. Town Attorney Lyndsey Ryan said the town will send a letter to the alleged violator, review state decibel standards, and report back to the complainants.
In public works business, Superintendent Shawn Lane presented a quote of $6,456.45 to purchase a snow blower and a commercial salt spreader; President Newnam instructed Lane to obtain additional vendor quotes and to get a quote for a second snowplow for the other town truck.
