Note: Special Time and Date
CALL TO ORDER: 6:00 PM
This morning, the road crew was able to get our 550 (1 ton) truck repaired and ready to go.
In addition, as of about noon today, they replaced the water pump in the Mack truck (one of our larger plow trucks), so it also is back up and on the road.
A Bristol truck came up this morning to assist with sanding some of our roads. The roads had never dried out after the storm, and with the colder weather, were icing up. Thanks to the Bristol crew for their assistance while our trucks were down.
We just had two more of our plow trucks go down (one this morning and another this afternoon). They have been sent in for repairs, but we do not yet have word on when they will be back in operation. We still don’t have our new truck yet, so we are down to one plow truck at present. (Plus the grader, which we have been using to fill in, but it is slow and does not have the ability to spread salt/sand.)
The road crew has been doing what they can to keep up. It looks as though we are past the worst of the precipitation for the next few days, so that’s a help. However, with the cold snap we are expecting, salt will not be very effective.
If conditions deteriorate, please consider avoiding driving or postponing trips until conditions improve. Our ability to respond quickly to adverse weather will be hampered until we get these trucks back in operation.
(and yes, we are looking in to alternatives, just as we did last fall. Options are limited, but we are searching.)

AGENDA

Monkton Town Hall
The culvert replacement on Monkton Rd was finished Thursday evening. The road is back open to through traffic.
UPDATE: We are still on for this culvert replacement on Thursday, Dec 12.
The north end of Mountain Rd will be closed to through traffic on Thursday, December 12, 2019, to make more lasting repairs to the large culvert which was temporarily repaired on Nov. 20
Expect local traffic only on the paved section of Mountain Rd from the intersection with States Prison Hollow Rd south to Preston Lane. The road will remain passable to allow the school bus through at approximately 7:20 AM. After that, there will be no through traffic over the large culvert approximately 1/2 mile south of States Prison Hollow Rd (approximately 50 yards north of where the pavement ends). Traffic will be restored when the repairs are completed.
The hope is to complete this repair in one day. If things go well, there is a chance it will be reopened for the afternoon/evening commute, but no guarantees. If the contractor uncovers unexpected problems, it could take longer.
