Board tables resolution authorizing highway equipment use on private property during emergencies
Summary
Resolution #93-2025, which would have allowed the Superintendent of Highways to use Town Highway Department resources on private property during emergencies, was tabled indefinitely at the April 29, 2025 meeting.
The board considered Resolution #93-2025, which proposed authorizing the Superintendent of Highways, upon request by emergency services and at his discretion, to clear private drives or remove snow/ice or otherwise use town equipment on private property to allow emergency access or mitigate hazards that pose a risk to public safety. The resolution included coordination requirements with emergency services and code enforcement.
After consideration, the board tabled Resolution #93-2025 indefinitely; no roll call vote to adopt is recorded. The tabling leaves the proposed emergency-use authority unresolved pending further discussion or modification.
