Highway superintendent defends dust-oil use, assures FEMA repairs on schedule; board selects Lakeside Roofing pending cost clarifications
Summary
Highway Superintendent Andy Best said dust oil is being used because brine "does not last," and he is confident FEMA-funded road repairs will be completed on time. The board voted to contract with Lakeside Roofing for a new garage roof subject to cost clarification by the Supervisor.
Highway Superintendent Andy Best told the board the town switched from brine to dust oil because, in his view, the brine did not provide lasting benefit on local roads. He also said his crew can complete FEMA road-repair work on schedule but the board agreed to support contracting work out if timelines require it.
Supervisor Richard Craig said he contacted three contractors for a new highway-garage roof. After discussions, the board approved a motion to contract with Lakeside Roofing "after the Supervisor clarifies the cost details" and directed the Supervisor to return final cost information before execution. The board also noted difficulty filling a recent highway vacancy and authorized re-advertising the position.
