Highway update: fuel choice, equipment auction policy, Hooven Ave request denied
Summary
Highway Superintendent reported the town must decide by July whether to continue buying firewood or switch to propane; the state declined a request to recognize Hooven Avenue as a road due to a parking lot in the middle; the department also needs auction procedures and repairs to two trucks.
The highway update at the Town of Clifton meeting raised several operational matters. The Highway Superintendent told the board the town needs to decide by July whether to continue buying firewood for the Town Garage or switch to propane; the board discussed making the building more energy efficient. The superintendent said a patrol truck needs a clutch and the spare pickup had a universal joint replaced; he recommended replacing both vehicles.
The board discussed the need for a policy and procedure to prepare equipment for auction, including cleaning and organizing items before sale. The state denied recognition of Hooven Avenue as a road because a parking lot sits in the middle of it, according to the minutes. The superintendent reported sweeping in Cranberry is complete and will start in Star Lake when weather permits; flower boxes and community/veterans flags will be placed and a lift must be rented. Wood chips behind the town barn are available to residents.
