Road Agent, Adam Hurst (4:30PM) reviewed with the Board the following: (a) Roby Road was closed on Monday (8/3) and Thursday (8/6), 5 culverts are being replaced, the asphalt will be ground and then paved (b) Corporation Hill Road – wall boarding the Lane River near the library has fallen and 10 to 15 stones must be relocated. A third party will be contracted to determine the extent and nature of the necessary repairs to the wall. (c) Street signs would be reviewed and some needed to be replaced. The signs which include directional signs off Route 114 to the town hall and the Central School (including all brackets) would require a budget increase of $800. It was suggested and approved by a sense of the board that the increase would be over two years (2020-2021) so no budget adjustment would be required. (d) Tree on Baker Road.
