Morehouse board addresses building repairs, inspections and streetlight upgrades
Summary
The board discussed and approved payment for emergency repairs to the Highway Garage after wind and ice damage, outlined a plan to address insurance inspection items for town facilities and heard that National Grid will install upgraded streetlights this spring.
Supervisor Fernandez told the board that ice and wind damaged vents on the Highway Garage roof and that he "hired a contractor" to make emergency repairs and filed an insurance claim. The board authorized payment to the contractor, Robert Thompson, once the bill is received. Separately, the board reviewed insurance safety-inspection items and instructed staff to prioritize work at the Recreation Center to meet inspection requirements, then address the town hall furnace and the museum.
National Grid is preparing designs to relocate and install upgraded streetlights, with work expected to begin in the spring, and Fernandez said the town will install master shutoff switches on highway trucks to comply with insurance recommendations. No specifics on contract amounts for the streetlight work were recorded in the minutes.
