Selectboard hears plan to improve access to West Sandgate cemetery; auctioned truck relisted likely

During the Road Report the Selectboard heard that new gravel was placed on Sandgate Road where pavement ends and that a successful auction bidder for a town truck subsequently backed out.

Town Road Foreman Jay told the board he is working with the auction house to determine next steps, likely re-listing the truck. Julie Robertson reported she and Jay visited West Sandgate cemetery; Jay suggested "possibly starting by making it accessible to mowers and eventually adding the road and turnaround for visitors." Julie and Jay discussed aiming to increase basic accessibility by the end of the year.

The Board did not vote on capital expenditures for cemetery access at this meeting; the town will continue planning and consider equipment or contracting options tied to the truck disposition.
