Over Weight
Truck Permit Policy: RE: Article in VLCT
News regarding who is authorized to issue over weight permits. The Board discussed the current policy of
Hinesburg and agreed it works well.
They will have the Town Administrator submit a list periodically to the
Board so they can acknowledge permits issued.
Buried Utility
Permit / Waitsfield Champlain Valley
Telecom: Michael
had an issue on a previous buried utility job completed by Waitsfield Champlain
Valley Telecom on Gilman Road and Hines Road.
Lines were not installed properly, were corrected by our highway crew,
and WCVT was billed for the repairs in the amount of $677.02. Michael considered requesting that all
future installations be completed with engineering oversight, but has not
requested it on this permit. He feels
that his discussion of the situation with them may be all that is necessary.

Goodrich

At the same time, an agreement was signed allowing the Town to cross the
Goodrich property for the purpose of removing gravel from the gravel pit. This agreement could be terminated at any
time by either the Town or the Goodrich family.
