Review/Authorization to Pay Bills: Motion by John and second by Diane R. authorizing Julie to pay the bills. All in favor. So, approved. Reports from Town Officials, Committees: Town Clerk/Treasurer: Julie explained what was in the bills. Julie spoke to Jeremy about the Old Jerusalem Road culvert bridge. It will probably be mid-October before the bridge opens. There has been a request to have the flashing speed sign on Ferson Road by the Moore’s parent’s old house. The report has been that cars have been coming up the road at sixty and not thirty-five mph. They are requesting a speed sign or caution sign or some sort of sign and they would be happy to have it on their property. Tom thought a 35-mph speed sign could be put in permanently. Tom looked into 3” electrical conduit pipe and irrigation pipe, but the cost to get it here is more than the price. Brad thinks he can find some irrigation pipe. Diane R. asked where they are planning to put the second flashing speed sign. Tom explained they intended on putting it on the north end of Route 53. He thought there was a good spot across from Miner’s if they cut a few tree branches. John stated he could put it up whenever and wherever they wanted. Julie reported that line striping for Swinington Hill Road should be done next week. If it’s not done within two weeks, let Julie know and she will contact them again. Julie shared a business card for Diane Harvey. Diane has started a business doing headstone cleaning. Julie provided an audit letter from the auditors that finalizes the audit and states that they received all the information they asked for and everything was done right to the best of our knowledge and requires Diane’s and Julie’s signature. Diane B. and Julie signed the document. Road Foreman: Arlan reported the paving is done and the bill is $116,320.00 for 1,307 ton. Motion by Brad and second by Tom to approve the increase in the paving budget by $6,350. All in favor. So, approved. Arlan will get more sand and salt; as needed.
