7 <br /> Board of Selectmen <br /> Minutes <br /> November 2,2015 <br /> APPOINTMENTS &HEARINGS <br /> Catherine Laurent, DPW Director: <br /> Review of Snow Rpmoval Policy: (continued) <br /> In concern,the Town Manager recommended policy to ensure all roads both public and private are <br /> plowed properly. Mr. Collins also indicated the Town in terms of safety, should address what roads <br /> need to be repaired. <br /> As discussion continued, it was agreed that most of the snow related issues derive from residents <br /> listed on the No Plow List. It was suggested the manner to which a road is placed on the No Plow <br /> List be modified by possibly removing those roads with vegetation issues,and overhanging brush. <br /> This action if determined would prompt a revision to the current Snow Removal Policy. <br /> It was agreed that additional outreach be conducted regarding what is required to be corrected before <br /> the Town would perform snow plowing. In some instances,the Town may remove and correct <br /> vegetation issues and in other scenario's,the Town may plow around the overhanging brush areas. <br /> Roads with significant damage, such as pot holes remain a concern for equipment damage. However, <br /> if a road becomes a safety issue for public safety access,the road will be plowed. <br /> Motion made by Selectman Sherman to allow the DPW Director in the event of an impending <br /> storm,to plow certain no plow roads, and the Board of Selectmen at their next regularly <br /> scheduled meeting will develop an amendment to the Snow Removal Policy. <br /> Motion seconded by Selectman Cotton. <br /> VOTE: Unanimous. 5-0. <br /> Roll Call Vote: <br /> Selectman Gahalane,yes Selectman Sherman,yes <br /> Selectman Gottlieb,yes Selectman O'Hara,yes <br /> Selectman Cotton,yes Opposed,none <br />
