Committee hears assurances that DPW work is on schedule after employee complaints
Summary
A committee member told the board that recent reports from ABW employees claiming highway work was not being done were inaccurate and that 2026 highway projects are on schedule, with several roads already slated for next year.
A committee member addressed the board to rebut recent reports that highway work was not proceeding, saying ABW employees had reported that "nothing's getting done in the highway" but that those reports were incorrect. "I just wanna assure the committee that that's far from the truth," the committee member said, adding that items on the 2026 schedule are either completed, in progress, or scheduled to be completed this year and that four roads are already planned for next year's projects.
The chair and other members said they had heard similar rumors and that follow-up checks showed the work had been completed or was in progress. The board thanked the speaker for raising the issue and for clarifying the status so the committee could address concerns raised by employees and residents. No formal action was taken; the item served as a status update and clarification of operations.
