Resident criticizes paving work and asks about DPW contract terms

During the public-comment period resident Paul Lang asked the board for the percentage increase on the DPW contract and whether the DPW superintendent has a signed contract. Lang then detailed multiple complaints about recent paving work he said was performed improperly: he described base layers left exposed, piles of dirt and cones left in the road, and repairs that required rework. He told board staff they had instructed the contractor to redo sections if they did not follow required base and top-course specifications.
