Chip-seal work done for season, staff says contract signed; residents report low edges and missing rock

During the reopened town council meeting, a committee member raised concerns that chip-seal work on their road had not been completed. “Mine did never get done,” the committee member said, asking whether the work had been rolled over to a neighboring section.

A staff member replied that any unfinished work would be scheduled for next season and told the council they had signed the check for the total cost of the contract. “I signed the check for the total cost of everything, the contract that I signed,” the staff member said, and added that the town was finished for this season.

Committee members cited a resident named Pete who reported that the road edges remain low and asked whether rock had been brought in for edge repairs. The staff member noted the contractor used a single truck that tended to drive in the center of the road, and said they would go check the reported site.

The meeting closed after the chair moved to adjourn on consent. Multiple participants said, “I’ll 2nd it,” and the chair reported affirmative responses; the transcript does not record a formal roll call or a clear tally of votes.

The council did not provide a timeline for when edge rock would be brought in or a revision to the streetwork schedule beyond the statement that remaining work would occur next season.
