Summary

Highway Superintendent reported completed dirt-road work, tractor AC repairs and asked permission to advertise a bid to purchase a trailer from Akron Construction; the board approved allowing the competitive bid process.

The highway superintendent reported that the town's scheduled dirt-road grading was finished and that mowing began, though some tractor air-conditioning units require repair. He said borrowing a trailer from Akron Construction to transport equipment saved significant delivery costs and asked the board for permission to advertise a bid to buy that trailer because its price exceeds his single-purchase threshold.

The board agreed to let the superintendent pursue a formal bidding process and to bring a detailed bid proposal back next month, including condition reports and year/equipment specifications. The motion to allow Jim to go through the bid process carried with a voice vote.
