Comments from the floor:
Unfinished
Business:
1. Hand Air Dryer(s) for
Municipal Restrooms, - Review quotes
received-no quotes received from local electricians. This will be extended
until a later date.
2. Public Works Department Equipment
Issue- Backhoe needs repair, an estimate was given for $36000.00 for repairs.
The backhoe may not last the winter. The Board is not authorized to purchase a
new one without holding a special Town Meeting. A few local companies have
given quotes for new equipment. Will need to set up a workshop to check out all
options.
3.
Janitorial Services- Revisited-Tracy asks the Board to revisit
Yvette Mercier. Mrs. Mercier would
like to have her daughter help her but the issue is that she is a Town employee. Tracy contacted MMA regarding Workman’s Comp and they sent her a waiver to be signed by Mrs. Mercier and the employee. They also suggested that the Town send a letter to the employee stating that she is sub-contracted through her mother. Tracy will speak to Mrs. Mercier. This is to be kept under Unfinished Business. If she declines, an ad will be placed in the paper.
