Board approves ending UniFirst contract, agrees to highway clothing allowance
Summary
Highway Superintendent Wyatt Boswell reported most crew members do not use the UniFirst clothing service; the board approved a motion to cancel the UniFirst contract and implement a clothing allowance for highway employees.
Wyatt Boswell told the board that most highway employees do not wear the clothing provided under the UniFirst contract and that employees requested a clothing allowance to purchase their own work clothes. The board approved a motion from David Fisher, seconded by Emily Losey, to accept the proposal to cancel the UniFirst contract and provide a clothing allowance instead.
Minutes do not record the allowance amount or the timing for transition; the action on June 10 authorized the board to move forward with canceling the contract and establishing an allowance program, with implementation details to be completed by staff.
