Freetown Board of Selectmen Approves Strategic Equipment Transfers to Optimize Resources

In a recent meeting, the Freetown Board of Selectmen focused on optimizing town resources by approving strategic equipment transfers. These included a decision to send a 2010 John Deere loader to the transfer station and declaring the current loader at the station as surplus for trade-in. This move, facilitated by funds available through ARPA and departmental budgets, will reduce the cost of acquiring new equipment.

The meeting’s most significant decision revolved around the allocation of town equipment. The board agreed to relocate the 2010 John Deere loader to the transfer station, a move deemed beneficial for the town’s operational efficiency. In conjunction, the loader presently stationed there will be traded in for a newer model, utilizing available funds from ARPA and departmental allocations. This initiative aims to streamline equipment usage.

Another important agenda item was the approval of a $6,000 change order for the paving and milling of Dean Street, Dana Lee Drive, and W Cutworth Avenue. This change adjusts the total project cost to $4,450, with assurances that the schedule remains unaffected. The board swiftly approved this order.

Additionally, the board approved an addendum to the paving agreement with PJ Keating and authorized the signing of relevant documents by the Town Administrator. This step is in line with the board’s efforts to ensure that town projects proceed without administrative delays.

Lastly, the board approved an underground tank agreement with J. Gas Services for the 2024-2025 period, confirming their commitment to maintaining essential town infrastructure.
