The Board of Selectmen unanimously approved three separate fiber optic contracts totaling $11,491 with GIL Engineering, $3,500 for Phase II installation work, and $10,000 for network activation through Eplus Technology. The board voted 4-0-1 to relocate a rectangular rapid flashing beacon to Main Street and Elm Street, resolving a conflict with a newly installed all-way stop sign.
Town Administrator Jeff Bridges outlined two budget scenarios for assuming ambulance service from Spencer Rescue and Emergency Squad, ranging from $447,277 to $568,273 annually depending on pension classification, and Chairman Grigg directed revisions for reconsideration at the next meeting.
