City staff announced the hiring of a licensed wastewater chief operator, Paul Lafond, reported progress on CVPG-funded demolition work and asked council members for street lists to prioritize 2026 paving; Crescent Avenue Bridge foundation work is expected to resume this month with substantial completion tentatively in July.
Staff updated the council on public-works activity: the city has hired a licensed wastewater chief operator, Paul Lafond, described as experienced; CVPG-funded demolition work is progressing and a contractor is completing multiple demo sites. Staff said they expect escrowed construction funds to arrive next week and do not anticipate major construction starting before April 1.
For paving, the contractor indicated availability in May and June, and staff asked aldermen to submit prioritized street lists so the city can take advantage of earlier-season work. On Crescent Avenue Bridge, staff said foundation work is slated to resume the last week of the month with substantial completion targeted for the second week of July; councilors noted potential impacts on Mohawk baseball and stressed communication about access and parking.
