Hwy superintendent reports road work, equipment rental and shared-services approval
Summary
Hwy Superintendent Kenny Peoples Jr. reported screened gravel and millings, grading on multiple roads, hauling stone for Gosper Road, fuel use of 349.9 gallons of diesel, and inquired about shared services. The board agreed to shared services if participating municipalities carry NYMIR insurance and provide monthly reports.
Highway Superintendent Kenny Peoples Jr. told the board on May 7 that crews screened gravel and millings (using a borrowed screen from Troupsburg), graded Miller Road, Lodge Road and the far end of John Rial Road, and hauled 1a and #1 stone for Gosper Road. He reported using 349.9 gallons of diesel fuel and said John Rial Road needs additional gravel.
Peoples said he met with Monro Tractor about an enclosed roller (monthly rental $7,500) and inquired about a water tank that would fit in a dump-truck bed (quoted at $7,714). He asked whether the town could use shared services; the Town Board agreed to allow shared services provided the municipalities used have NYMIR insurance and submit a monthly report to the Supervisor.
Why it matters: equipment rental and shared-service arrangements can affect the highway budget and how quickly road repairs are completed.
