ROAD AGENT REPORT
• Highway Crew Work – Thompson indicated that the highway crew has been dealing with road issues from the winter storm cleanup, then the warm up which created flooding and ice chunks on many areas of town including Valley and Sam Hill Roads. The water and ice chunks under the Bridge Road bridge came up right under the bridge. However, it resolved itself before Thompson needed to attend to it.
• Sand – Clarke brought in one thousand yards of sand. Thompson stated that they are providing good service to Andover.  
• Budget changes – Originally when the ties were priced out for the grader, the cost was approximately $4500 to $4800. However, the quoted price reflected tires from stock. The current price has jumped up to an estimated $6500 to $9500. The one-ton truck also needs its tires replaced. The Board agreed and told Thompson to take care of replacing the tires.
• Bridge Road – Roy and Thompson are working on an action plan if that bridge fails or is ever inaccessible. They will meet with Jane Hubbard to develop such a plan.
• Portable Radios – The highway crew now has portable radios to communicate with instead of using their individual personal cell phones.
