Road Agent Report

Beaver Deceivers on Elbow Pond: Skip Lisle wants to upgrade the system. Road Agent John Thompson indicated that the deceivers need maintenance. There is debris entrapped in the deceivers that needs to be cleaned out.

The Conservation Commission purchased these deceivers through a grant. The Highway Department installed the deceivers. It needs to be determined who is responsible for the maintenance.

The Board wants to continue to see who the trees belong to and then come up with an action plan and schedule.

Projects Update: Maintenance and mowing continues.

• Lakeview Cemetery: The road repair is three-quarters complete.
• Flaghole Road: The crew is ditching on the middle section of this road.
• Bradley Lake Road: The crew is doing ditch work.
• Elbow Pond Road: The crew is patching.
• Plains Road: The crew has not started on repaving this road, but have taken care of a specific area that had a water issue. Two end bits are being made to shim this road. The cost is approximately $500 for both end bits.
• Pinewood Lane: The crushed stone stock is depleted and Thompson is waiting for the crushing unit to return from Canada. As soon as it returns, the crushed stone needed for this project and others in town will be worked on. Thompson expects it should be near the end of this week.
• Morrill Hill Road Bridge: Thompson is very concerned with traveling on this bridge. Thompson recommended having the state involved and for the state to meet with Thompson to show what is wrong with the bridge and then have a plan of action to take care of the issues. Roy will contact Nancy Mayville to set up a meeting for instructions as to how to move forward.
• Sign on Brick House Road: The road crew will replace this sign.

Town pay schedule for sub-contractors: Thompson is concerned about the amount of time from when the sub-contractors work and when they actually get paid. Thompson indicated that at times, it’s a three-week turnaround.

The Board voted unanimously to pay the sub-contractors on a weekly basis during the summer instead of bi-weekly.
