Road Agent

The police notified Thompson about a boat that became unhitched to the transport truck while going down Flaghole Road last week. The truck driver did not notice that the boat became unhitched and traveled into a ditch. The next morning, the road crew removed the boat from the ditch.

Maple Street Trees

Last week, the Board along with the Town Administrator viewed the trees of concern on Maple Street. There are three trees that need to be taken down. The Board measured the area and determined that these trees are well within the property owner’s boundaries and not in the Town’s right of way.

The Chair explained to Ken Newcomb and Carol Bennett that once the town has been notified of a potential safety hazard, they must act on it and have a plan. Newcomb and Bennett agreed that they will have the trees taken down at their expense in a reasonable amount of time so that there are no safety hazard issues.

Newcomb indicated that he had several people he will consider to do the job, along with other tree work on the property. Newcomb is also going to put a ribbon around the trees that need to be taken down.

Town Administrator Report

Roy received a telephone call from a Jim who said that the calcium chloride being applied on the dirt roads in town seemed to be working well. Jim questioned if the road crew could apply the calcium chloride on private roads in town as well.

Thompson explained that the Town’s equipment and the applicator they used from the company cannot be used for private road maintenance work. However, people who live on the private roads in town can contact the same company the Town uses for information.
