DPW leaders reject claims of falling behind; committee holds executive session with no action
Summary
Supervisor Hall asked whether DPW was falling behind on day‑to‑day operations; DPW staff said paving, bridges and culverts remain on schedule and Dean Collins asked the committee to "put that rumor to rest." The committee then entered and exited executive session and took no action.
During Other Business Supervisor Hall asked whether the Department of Public Works was falling behind on day‑to‑day work. Tim Zinn said DPW continues paving, building bridges and installing culverts for next year’s paving projects. Dean Collins told the committee that recent employee complaints were unfounded and that "anything that is on the 2026 schedule is either completed or scheduled to be completed this year."
Collins added he wanted to "put that rumor to rest" after hearing staff concerns. The committee then moved into executive session to discuss the medical, financial, credit and employment history of a particular person; the committee later returned to regular session and recorded that no action was taken in executive session.
Why it matters: Staff morale and operational capacity are essential for timely road and bridge work. Committee members documented the department’s ongoing schedule and recorded that no personnel action resulted from the closed session.
