Town Supervisor

New Highway Garage Project will get Immediate Attention after a Year of Inaction by Highway Superintendent

Following inaction over an extended amount of time in yet another important element of Town operations perpetuated by Highway Superintendent Dahn Bull, required action was necessary to ensure vital projects are completed. As outlined in the letter sent to the Highway Superintendent, the time that has passed with no progress undertaken to construct a new building at the Highway Department is inexcusable. Despite approvals and direction for the project provided to the Highway Superintendent by the Town Board almost a year ago, only recently were there any requests from the Highway Superintendent to move the project forward. Town Supervisor Phil Barrett will assemble a team that will work together to immediately make the new building a priority. A similar situation was uncovered recently when the Town learned funds allocated two years ago to study options for the replacement of the Highway Department’s ailing fuel island and system was never utilized and the project never initiated by the Highway Superintendent.

“We see the same infantile playbook on a continuous loop regarding the Highway Superintendent’s inability or unwillingness to do his job," said Town Supervisor Phil Barrett. "He does not do his job, ignores vital projects authorized by the Town Board and then complains and cries he is the victim when we are forced to take corrective action.”
