Board approves small purchases for transfer station, accessibility and salt procurement update
Summary
The board approved purchases including an adjustable stair with handrails ($585), an Arlo camera kit ($200) plus service, and reviewed a salt-coop bid of $89/ton (estimated $5,040 increase). Multiple small motions passed 2–0 during the meeting.
The Select Board approved several routine purchases and heard procurement updates affecting the town's operations. After reviewing two quotes for an adjustable single stair access unit, the board voted to purchase the model with handrails at $585. "The one with side rails is $585," a board member noted during discussion before the motion carried 2–0.
Administrator Michelle briefed the board on a cooperative salt bid through SMPDC: the apparent winning bid from Eastern Salt was $89 per ton, an increase of roughly $5.06 per ton that would add approximately $5,040 to the town's expected salt expense; the board agreed to wait for the state's results in June before finalizing the procurement. The board also approved purchase of an Arlo three-camera kit ($200) with an $18/month off-site recording option and a Breezeline phone/internet quote (about $90/month) to replace a more expensive landline, with the camera and service motion passing 2–0. These items were presented as budgeted or expected operating expenses and will be followed up in the administration's procurement records.
