New Haven loses courtesy Spectrum internet, greenlights River Day and reports sewer pump purchase
Summary
Mayor Linda Mattingly told the board Spectrum no longer provides courtesy internet after its franchise renewal; the board agreed to host River Day on June 21, 2025, accepted delivery of the third backup lift-station pump at $12,056.76, and tabled a citywide street-light LED conversion pending more information.
At the March 20, 2025 meeting of the New Haven Board of Commissioners, Mayor Linda Mattingly informed the board that the city no longer receives courtesy internet service from Spectrum following the company's franchise renewal. Mattingly said the city will continue to contract with Spectrum for internet and phone service because the company offered the best price.
David Nalley asked the board for permission for the Community Development team to host the city's annual River Day on June 21, 2025; the board gave consensus to proceed with the event. The minutes do not record additional event details or a budget allocation for River Day.
Jamie Bryan reported on sewer operations, saying the city now has a backup pump at each lift station after the third and final pump was delivered the previous week at a reported cost of $12,056.76. The minutes record this procurement cost but do not indicate funding source or account numbers.
On street matters, Commissioner Ruth Faulkner said she had repeatedly reached out to Levi Wooldridge about a creek issue on Philip Court. The board was also provided a quote to replace all street lights with LED bulbs; the item was tabled until more information could be obtained.
There were no police or recreation reports recorded. Commissioner Ruth Faulkner moved to adjourn at 5:32 p.m.; Commissioner Mike Morris seconded, and the motion carried unanimously.
