During a recent government meeting, a member addressed the tragic death of Carrie Lynn Monahan, who was killed on Meadowbrook Road on July 24, 2000. The speaker corrected previous misinformation shared during the meeting, highlighting Monahan's connection to the community as a 2000 graduate of Ridgewood High School and the sister of Tim Monahan, a former assistant principal at GW High School.

The discussion then shifted to a communication issue regarding the Ridgewood Water boil water advisory. The speaker expressed concern over the utility's lack of subscriber phone numbers, questioning how a utility could operate without this essential information. They requested data on the percentage of Ridgewood Water subscribers whose phone numbers are not on file, emphasizing the importance of effective communication during emergencies.

Additionally, the member inquired about the extent of damage to kiosks at a pedestrian underpass caused by a recent car accident. They sought clarification on how much of the damage would be covered by insurance, whether through the town's insurance or that of the individual responsible for the accident. The speaker underscored the need for transparency regarding funding for repairs.

The meeting concluded with an invitation for further comments, reflecting the community's ongoing engagement with local issues.
