Highway department discusses fuel choice, equipment roster and spring clean-up
Summary
The April 8 meeting included highway updates: DEC requested equipment roster for Advance Clean Truck reporting; the board debated whether to continue buying firewood or switch to propane before July; the crew is on 10-hour days and spring cleanup is planned.
Town highway matters were discussed during the April 8 meeting, including regulatory reporting, fuel decisions and routine operations.
The Advance Clean Truck report requires the town to provide a roster of equipment to the DEC, officials noted. Board members discussed whether to continue ordering firewood for the town garage or to switch to propane and agreed a decision must be made by July before firewood orders are placed. Highway staff reported the crew is currently working 10-hour days, auction items need photographs for sale, and spring clean-up activities will begin in coming weeks.
No procurement decision was recorded at the meeting about firewood versus propane; the matter will return to the board for a July timeline decision.
