Resident urges restored structure and transparency for DPW amid staffing and oversight worries
Summary
Resident Suzann Brush told the council the Department of Public Works is operating without proper supervision and raised concerns about payroll, staffing and transparency; she praised DPW workers’ efforts and urged the governing body to restore structure and fairness.
During public comment, Suzann Brush described several months of what she called noncompliance with administrative procedures in the Department of Public Works, including lack of supervision, payroll operations and poor communication with staff. She said DPW employees "have gone above and beyond" despite limited staffing and resources and asked the governing body to restore structure, fairness and transparency in borough administration.
Brush said poor leadership undermines public trust and asked the council to remember that local government "is to serve the people not politics and not personal agendas." The minutes record her public appeal but do not show a formal response or immediate remedy during the session; the item remained a public comment request for follow-up.
