Discussed: 2012 warrant article - plans for Fredwood drive. Fredwood was originally scheduled for 2012 then pushed out. Recently the road has deteriorated significantly.

Approximate cost of $15,000 vs. $32,700.
Discussed 2012 warrant article - plans for East Ricker Road – approximate cost $60,000. Discussion centered around whether to do entire 3,725 foot stretch or just a large portion thereof. Committee is considering recommending that the entire stretch be done.
Discussed 2012 warrant article – plans to ask town for $32,00 to supplement (and needed to use) a FEMA grant of $148,000 for culvert and work on Perry Brook road. Town must appropriate the $32,00 this year or next year or lose the FEMA grant. Committee is considering recommending a warrant article for $32,000.
Discussed 2012 warrant article for a new truck. Purchase price is $121,000 - or time purchase for $28,000 per year for 7 years (total Of $196,000). Committee asked road agent to check on the time purchase price (seemed a bit high). Based on Road Agent’s findings The committee is considering recommending outright purchase or time purchase.
