Committee: $400,000 town paving budget left, about $90,000 available for committee recommendations
Summary
Infrastructure committee members reviewed a June $400,000 paving appropriation and said roughly $90,000 remains available for the committee to recommend after other allocations; members confirmed multi-year paving priorities and agreed to keep the plan flexible for rapid road deterioration.
The Town of Wayne infrastructure committee opened by reviewing a June appropriation of $400,000 for road work and what portion of that sum the committee may recommend for specific projects. Chair (Speaker 1) said much of the appropriation is already committed to calcium, sweeping and plowing, leaving the committee "about $90,000" to recommend to the town manager and select board.
The committee reviewed a multi-year spreadsheet of paving priorities and agreed that the top-ranked projects remain appropriate but noted labeling errors (north/south) to be corrected. Members emphasized the plan is advisory and flexible: if a road degrades faster than expected, priorities should be moved up. "As a committee that recommends, we can't do anything except recommend," the chair said, framing the group's advisory role.
