Council approves annual town‑highways financial plan and roads & bridge compliance certificate
Summary
Public Works Director Tom Bernier presented Newport’s annual financial plan for town highways and the certificate of compliance for town roads and bridge standards; council approved both documents and will file signed copies with district engineers.
Tom Bernier, Public Works Director, reviewed the city’s annual financial plan for town highways and explained that the certificate of compliance confirms acceptance of state road and bridge specifications. Bernier said the financial plan includes public‑works budget items, capital paving and equipment needs and feeds into the city’s allocation of state aid for Class 1–3 roads.
Council asked no substantive questions and, after a brief review, voted to approve the financial plan and the certificate of compliance by voice vote. The signed documents will be returned to district engineers as required to maintain eligibility for state road‑aid funding.
