Committee Discussion:

  • Project Submittal Form Process was presented by the Town Administrator. Goal is to standardize with the School District.
  • A review of the 6 year highway road improvement plan was discussed, with the goal to keep cost consistent over the period and aligned to past years budgets (~$200k block grant + ~$200k voter approved). After 2026, the town can shift into a preventative maintenance strategy with less funds anticipated as being needed for mill and reclamation work.
  • A review of the 6 year Highway vehicle and equipment plan was discussed. A review of Highway department assets, replacement schedule, anticipated needs due to town growth and residential development, as well as the need for salt storage and re-purpose of current salt shed structure.

The CIPC will review all departments 6 year plans before making any recommendations.

Public input by a resident (N. Fordey) was also provided.

The next meeting is scheduled for Monday 4/6/20 in which it is planned to review the Police, Fire and Solid Waste Capital Improvement Plans.
