Review/Authorization to pay bills:Bills making their rounds for signatures. Reports from Town Officials, Committees: Road Foreman: Julie reported a call from Dunmore Acres stating there was a tree across on the line across from Dunmore Acres. He called the power company and he called the phone company. The power company said it was the phone company’s problem. The phone company said it was the town’s problem. Arlan agreed to take a look and investigate. He doesn’t think it’s the town’s responsibility. He will look at it and call whoever is responsible. Arlan talked with Jeff McDonough about fence on Reserve Road and Jeff would like a plank on the back side of the fence. Motion by Tom and second by Ron to approve additional funds for additional fencing to meet Mr. McDonough’s request. All in favor. So approved. Arlan will try to get another helper to move the project along. There was discussion about independent contractors. Arlan dug up the end of the culvert down by Bridle Path Lane. The cable plow cut the fiber optic cable that went right down the middle of the culvert. They fixed it today by putting it over top of the culvert and not through it. Arlan’s plan for work that needs to be done:
- clean out the inlets of the culverts on the Bullock Road and Ferson Road. Tom mentioned that the exits were just as important.
- cut the two maple trees down on the corner by Malinowski’s. Take the shoulders off so the water can get out of the road. Tom thinks it would be a great visibility help too.
- clean the culvert down by where Paul Bearor used to live. There is hardly any water that gets through there.
- Tom mentioned checking the culverts by Ward Mann’s.
- there needs to be ditching done from Mountain View Club, south on the east side of the road.
- haul winter sand.
