Residents press Farmingdale officials on Linwood Avenue drainage; Board authorized up to $2 million in bond work
Summary
Residents asked about the pending H2M report on Linwood Avenue and prepositioning of pumps; the Board previously approved a bond resolution for up to $2 million for drainage improvements in the area.
During the public-comment period on Sept. 3, a resident asked for the status of the H2M engineering report on Linwood Avenue and whether the Village could preposition a pump or hose to address flooding. Deputy Mayor William Barrett said the report was not finalized and could not be discussed in detail because of ongoing legal filings, but that "the Village will address the prepositioning of a hose through yards as mentioned."
Earlier in the meeting the Board approved a bond resolution authorizing up to $2 million for improvements to the drainage system in the Linwood Avenue area. Trustees and staff did not provide a detailed schedule for construction in the meeting minutes; H2M’s final report and any related legal clearances were presented as prerequisites for moving forward.
Residents also raised nearby code enforcement concerns and asked the Village to investigate property conditions; the Board said it would follow up. No formal vote tied the public comment to an immediate construction authorization at the meeting beyond the previously approved bond resolution.
