Town gets extension for bridge work

HALIFAX — According to draft meeting minutes filed Jan. 27, Selectboard Chairwoman Edee Edwards reports that:

• She received an e-mail from Todd Menees of the Vermont Agency of Natural Resources river-management division noting that an extension of dates has been granted for the Old County North Bridge work.

• There is no additional information from the Planning Commission regarding the VTel tower.

• The school may need to have an Americans with Disabilities Act audit.

Delivering the road commissioner's report, Highway Supervisor Bradley Rafus told the Selectboard:

• All of his department's trucks are back up and running.

• His office received a modem from FairPoint Communications at the town garage.

• He has confirmed that $25,592 remains in the equipment reserve fund, there having been $10,500 transferred out of the gravel account into the equipment fund.

• Rafus said he believes there is approximately $65,000 in the gravel reserve.

• The town needs to pay for its fuel containment unit by April 1 as it is part of a grant.

• He's identified a 2012 leftover truck available “in the low $40,000 price range, including the dump body.”
