Town cannot file PES reimbursement until highway superintendent provides documentation

The chair told the board that documentation needed from the highway superintendent for PES reimbursement — details of corrective measures, materials and labor — has not been provided despite multiple requests. He said the office has received one response but not the required documentation, so the town cannot submit for reimbursement.

A board member warned that if documentation is not provided and the reimbursement deadline passes, taxpayers could be left holding the cost. The chair said he has re-read the supervisors' handbook and found no guidance for compelling cooperation when an internal official does not respond, leaving the office unable to proceed without the highway superintendent's documentation.
