Board approves backhoe tires, tables tire‑changer; reports on 1.3 miles of paving
Summary
The highway superintendent reported the paving of 1.3 miles (cost just under $400,000 paid from CHIPS) and the board approved backhoe tire purchases for $2,599.29; purchase of a tire changer was tabled for further review.
The board heard a highway report that the town paved 1.3 miles this month (Jay Mountain Road, Aussego Drive, Cross Street) and that the cost—covered by CHIPS funds—was "about just shy of $400,000." A request to purchase backhoe tires from All Season Tire (total $2,599.29) received a roll‑call approval.
Members reviewed three quotes for a tire‑changer (prices ranged roughly from $6,799 to $9,499) and agreed to table that purchase to gather more information on quality and available budget. Board discussion noted that with the town’s own equipment the highway crew should be able to do more in‑house work, reducing contractor costs over time.
