Hillsdale records $42,551.76 insurance reimbursement for light‑pole replacements
Summary
The board approved budget amendment 6a to record $42,551.76 in insurance reimbursements to purchase replacement light poles; members said installation costs (about $5,000) are additional and one pole cannot be replaced because of a stone wall.
Chair told the board that the town received $42,551.76 in insurance reimbursements for four downed light poles and moved to approve budget amendment 6a to record that revenue and authorize purchase of replacement poles. He said the town intends to replace three poles now (the fourth is obstructed by a stone wall) and that installation costs are separate from the purchase price — roughly $5,000 anticipated for installation.
The board approved the amendment and acknowledged that one bid for the replacement work was received (the bid will be reviewed by the town engineer and references before any contract is approved). Members asked about additional project costs such as engineering or surveys, and Chair clarified that the amendment covers purchase of the poles only.
