HARDWICK – Hardwick Electric Department’s (HED) June 24 meeting began with approval of previous minutes. This was Lynne Gedanken’s final HED meeting and the Town Select Board will be appointing a new commissioner. Submissions of letters of intent for the position were due June 30.
The Board changed a policy that required customers to pay $250 for a project’s cost estimate. Before requiring the customer to pay the $250, they will provide information about the project to help them make the decision about going through with the project, including general estimates. The motion to change this policy passed unanimously.
Braese presented information on the dam assets and general manager reports.
The board then moved into executive session, as requested by Commissioner Lynne Gedanken. Braese, Controller & Business Office Supervisor Beth Essary and Attorney J. Scott Cameron were invited to this session, and no action was taken afterwards.
Gedanken then requested an executive session for a personal matter. After the session, no action was taken, and the meeting adjourned.
The next HED meeting will take place July 22 at 6 p.m.
