Reports and Presentations:

Highway Superintendent Telaak reported on the following:
  Parks Department bucket truck has been decommissioned due to a rotted
  and broken frame and compromised fuel tank. He indicated the truck is
  used frequently for flag installations, holiday decorations, and lighting
  maintenance throughout town park. It’s not something that we can rent
  when needed, renting a replacement on an as-needed basis is not
  practical. He stated his intent to discuss acquisition options, including
  purchasing through an online marketplace with Supervisor Keding. Oil
  and stoning the roads all went very well. Streets have all been swept and
  cleaned. Crews are currently mowing shoulders and preparing roads, skid
  paving and paving, prepping for next year’s oil and stoning.
