The Town of Charlton Board of Health voted on two routine items at its March 11 meeting.

The board approved a two‑year mowing contract with BCB Lawn Services of Charlton at the rate discussed in the estimate: $7,000 per mowing, with the contract covering the next four scheduled mowings (two years). A motion to procure BCB Lawn Services was made, seconded, and approved by voice vote; members present responded “Aye.” The board and staff noted the contract term aligns with prior practice of two‑year contracts and that the town’s procurement threshold allowed a direct selection rather than a full public bid for a contract of this size.

The board also moved to accept the minutes of the Feb. 11, 2025 meeting. That motion was seconded and approved by voice vote with “Aye” responses.

Why it matters: these votes settle routine maintenance and records: the mowing contract secures a local contractor for landfill and property mowing, and acceptance of minutes completes the board’s record-keeping for the prior meeting.

Provenance: The mowing contract motion and vote appear later in the old-business portion of the meeting; minutes approval occurs after the mowing item.
