WOODSTOCK – After surveying the storm damage from the recent nor’easter, Town Manager and Road Commissioner Vern Maxfield told selectmen Tuesday there had been little road damage despite the heavy rains and runoff.

“We had very little road damage and didn’t lose any road surfaces,” Maxfield said. “The only damage we found was along the shoulders, which can be repaired quite easily and quickly.”

More damage would likely crop up after all the snow melts, “…and we can get a better look at everything,” he said.

The worst of the shoulder damage was found along Curtis Hill and Old County roads with some minor damage on other roads in hilly areas of town.

In other business selectmen approved purchasing a 2007 Sterling L10-8500 plow truck from McDevit Motors of Lancaster, N.H.

It was explained by the highway crew that the truck from McDevit was the best price they could find and could be ready for delivery within a month.

“Usually we have to order and wait for several months before we have it and can get it outfitted,” Maxfield said.

As for the plow gear and accessories he and the crew are still negotiating for the best price they can get either from H.P. Fairfield Equipment of Skowhegan or Tenco Equipment of Berwick.

“Whichever gives us the best price and meets our specific specification will have our business,” said Maxfield.

It is hoped the truck will be ready to go no later than early summer so it can be used during the summer road program, Maxfield said.

Fire Chief Geof Inman also announced his department has received a $2,200 grant from the Maine Forest Service, which will allow for the installation of Global Positioning Systems in the town’s fire trucks.
