White Oak Pit and 76 Bridge Street Properties:

The Board discussed having both properties surveyed at the same time so there are clear boundaries for these properties.

Other Businesses:

Delaney informed the Board that the Road Agent has an issue with Hansen, who the State awarded the bid to for the work on Monticello Road Bridge. There is a negative past history with Hansen for a project in town about ten years ago. The contract has not been signed yet. Roy will contact Sean James to find out if there are alternatives.

The Transfer Station’s tonnage has increased dramatically compared to the same time last year. The Board will institute a Sticker Day to make sure only Andover residents are using the Transfer Station. Commercial fees and enforcement are being considered.

The Board has noticed numerous road signs missing again throughout town. The Board will ask the Road Agent to get an inventory of signs in town.

The Board will consider dropping the speed on Flaghole Road in the area of Boston Hill Road to 25 mph.

The Board indicated they need a work session with the Transfer Station Manager, Reggie Roy, and Road Agent Thompson.
