Road Agent Capital Improvement Forecast

The committee discussed the project list submitted by Road Agent John Thompson.

Concern over the cost and timing was expressed. Although the committee agreed the projects were most likely appropriate, scheduling the timing of the projects in order to minimize the cost impact to the Town will be important.

RSMS Review

Doug did a quick demonstration of the Road Surface Management System (RSMS) application. Features such as quickly listing Town roads by surface condition, drainage needs, and the importance of the road was shown, as well as how the application can be used for budgeting and prioritizing for long-range planning.
