Milford reports $375,000 in CHIPS funds and proposes lake-road right-of-way policy
Summary
Highway Superintendent Billy Sutphin reported the Town received $375,000 in CHIPS funds (with $340,000 already allocated), discussed a bill from Spectrum for cable damage, and proposed a lake-road right-of-way policy set at 1.5 feet from the paving edge to clarify maintenance responsibilities.
Highway Superintendent Billy Sutphin told the board the Town received $375,000 in CHIPS funds, of which $340,000 is already allocated to projects. He and Supervisor Partridge toured town roads to review progress on highway projects.
Sutphin said the Town received a bill from Spectrum after a cable that was lying unmarked in a ditch was cut during mowing and that he has asked the supervisor to send a letter asking Spectrum to mark its lines by April 1 each year. Sutphin also proposed a consistent right-of-way policy for lake roads, suggesting 1.5 feet from the edge of paving on each side where many lake roads are narrow; Council Member Velasco asked him to list items that would have to be moved if the policy is adopted and suggested contacting the Goodyear Lake Association for resident notification.
