HIGHWAY AND PARKS REPORT Superintendent Wohlhueter read the following report: February Highway Report • We have continued to stay extremely busy plowing snow and making room for more. And when not plowing we’ve been working on the endless task of filling the barn with sand and salt. • Mid-season oil changes and preventive maintenance are underway. • We have used roughly 60% of our salt quota. There is another salt shortage that has taken hold with some towns being shut off for the rest of the winter for using up their allotment. Thankfully, through efficiency and rationing we are not in that situation. We should be ok even if winter continues to keep its heels dug in. • I can’t thank Mark and Mike enough for being there and putting in the extra hours that they have. They have held strong and really take pride in getting the job done daily. Councilwoman Zurbrick thanked Superintendent Wohlhueter for his hard work in taking care of Town roads this winter. Shipping Container Purchase During a February 12, 2026, workshop, the Town Board and Highway Department discussed the purchase of a shipping container to temporarily hold playground equipment and then be used as Highway Department storage.
