- One timber tax bill and a timber tax warrant were signed.
- As discussed last week, a purchase order for 1,000 yds of stone from Joe Aldrich's pit was approved and signed.
- Road Agent Tom Smith reported that Skinny Ridge Rd was graded and sprayed last week, and Davis Dr was also graded.
- They have been doing roadside mowing on Hurd Hill Rd and Davis Dr. This work may be contracted out next year. The road crew is not very comfortable doing the mowing as they are not familiar with the equipment and it is taking longer than originally thought. They will be mowing for one more week.
- Smith will work with Scott Stuart on running the grader. Ogontz Rd, Dodge Pond Rd and Hurd Hill Rd will be graded next.
- A full tank of calcium chloride was received last Friday.
- Smith will check with Blaktop and Pike regarding prices for a couple of inches of base on Skinny Ridge, starting at the corner of Tinkerville Rd. He feels Bigelow can be high-priced. Moscicki inquired about having a 4" base coat and 2" top coat like the State. Smith will check with Kevin Clement to see what Lisbon puts down.
- They discussed crushing and screening 1-1/2" stone.
- The large rock on Under the Mountain Rd is still there. Smith thinks it may need to be blasted.
- The one-ton truck may be used for plowing smaller roads this winter and there may be changes made to the priority of some of the roads plowed. Smith will check on the school bus route for those roads that need to be maintained first.
- The process for reviewing and signing off on driveway permits was discussed.
- Gravel crushing will start Sept 15th. The use of a vibratory roller after grading to pack in small rocks was discussed.
