Town cannot file PES reimbursement until highway superintendent provides documentation
Summary
Chair said required documentation from the highway superintendent to support PES reimbursement remains missing; without official corrective-measures documentation the town cannot complete a reimbursement application and fears the taxpayers could lose funds if paperwork is not provided in time.
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.
