LINCOLN — The Lincoln selectboard on April 29 hired a firm to revamp the town’s website, discussed the aftermath of mud season and heard concerns about speeding all-terrain vehicles in town.
The selectboard unanimously approved a quote by B Mighty Two, a Lincoln-based company that helps small businesses with their web presence, to help with the town’s website. For $125 per month, or $1,250 per year if paid in a lump sum, the firm will retool and manage the town website — lincolnvermont.org.
Town Clerk Sally Ober said the website has not undergone major changes since it was created by resident Henry Wilmer four years ago. Wilmer volunteered his time to build and manage the site, but is no longer to able to do so.
Ober said the improved site will be more user-friendly, and provide links to other town sites, such as a town library.
 “We’re hoping that some of the information will be easier to navigate,” Ober said. “Right now I find it challenging to find our address, phone number, and basic contact info.”
Ober said that town officials looked at a variety of web hosting options before choosing B Mighty Two.
“We shopped around locally, and asked other towns what they were doing,” Ober said. “This one seemed like the most affordable.
B Mighty Two will re-format the site and, as the web hosts, add content to the site as needed.
At that April 29 meeting, the selectboard also discussed the effects of mud season in the mountain town. Road Foreman Tim Thompson said several culverts in down had heaved out of the soft earth, and that the road crew has been working hard to fix them. The selectboard discussed what type of gravel is best for the job, and settled on 1.5-inch stones from the Heffernan and Acker gravel pits.
In other business April 29, the selectboard discussed residents driving all-terrain vehicles at potentially dangerous speeds, which has been a popular topic on the website Front Porch Forum. The board discussed purchasing a solar-powered digital speed readout sign for $3,000 in an effort to deter speeders.
No decision on purchasing a sign was made at the meeting, but the selectboard resolved to bring the issue to the Addison County Sheriff’s Department.
The selectboard also discussed the importance of locking the town safe, located in the clerk’s office, at the end of each day. The board noted that the safe is not always locked, and that the windows of the town clerk’s office are not “burglar proof.”
