Highway crews report salt supply challenges; new town truck lacks sander

During the highway and buildings reports the Selectboard heard that plowing and snowbank cleanup are ongoing and that ordering salt has been challenging, although the highway department reported it still maintains a local stockpile. Board members discussed using less salt on sidewalks to conserve supply. The new red town truck is believed not to have a bed liner and was confirmed to lack a sander in its bed.

Under Buildings, board members were told a quote for damaged pillars would be submitted midweek, some stairs at the post office have been taped off because they are broken, and the EMS roof project is still in progress. The property at 50 Farrar Street was reported closed last week.

The minutes record operational issues for follow-up (equipment, safety repairs, and procurement) but do not include vendor names, cost estimates, or timelines beyond "midweek" for a pillars quote.
