Board approves $4,300 camera inspection for Haviland Road parking-lot sinkhole
Summary
The Town of Lloyd board voted to fund a camera inspection of a collapsing culvert beneath the Haviland Road parking lot, approving a $4,300 payment; the inspection will determine repairs needed before paving can proceed.
The Town of Lloyd board approved a motion to pay $4,300 for a camera inspection of the culvert beneath the Haviland Road parking lot to investigate a developing sinkhole. Chair (unnamed) brought the item to the table after highway staff described structural collapse under the parking area and urged prompt inspection.
Highway Director (Speaker 6) told the board the culvert runs under the rail trail and out to Mile Hill Road and urged fast action: "The longer you wait, the worse it's gonna get." Board members agreed the inspection should precede any paving work. The chair made a motion to fund the inspection with Richie coordinating the contractor; the motion was seconded and passed by voice vote with members answering "Aye." No individual roll-call was recorded in the workshop transcript.
The board discussed whether the cost should come from parking-fee revenue or the general fund; members said it will likely be paid from the general fund. The town will seek the camera vendorto generate a video log of the culvert interior and then determine necessary engineering or repairs before repaving the lot.
