With the exception of a few small cosmetic touches, the department completed the installation of an office door for the permit counter in Town Hall. Doing this work ourselves has saved the Town well over $3000.
The department registered to attend the TCAPWA/SWANA 2021 Conference on November 3rd. The department will get a good view of equipment the department may be able to purchase in the future and will also attend two training classes: Disaster preparedness and pavement management.

The department published an RFP for an insurance brokerage firm to provide Employee Benefit Brokerage and Consulting services. The purpose of this request is to engage the services of an independent consultant to advise the Town pertaining to the Town’s employee insurance benefit programs.
