Selectboard members on Jan. 19 approved using the existing budget line item for highway health insurance to reimburse Road Foreman Jay Wilson for the portion of his coverage he obtains through his spouse's plan.
Selectboard member Joe Nolan reported that Jay Wilson has chosen to be covered by his wife's insurance and asked whether the town could cover his share through the highway insurance line item. The minutes note that the previous Road Foreman received that reimbursement each year; the Board approved the same approach and asked Jay to provide documentation of the reimbursement amount for the Treasurer and the Board.
The decision was recorded by the meeting as an administrative approval rather than a formal motion to adjust budget lines. Selectboard members also discussed recent operational issues in the Road Department, including a vendor change for road salt and a delayed plow truck delivery.
The Board will record the reimbursement amount for bookkeeping, and the Treasurer will process the payment according to standard procedures.
