Moira board adopts expectations for elected highway superintendent, sets safety and reporting requirements
Summary
The Town Board passed Resolution #148-2025 establishing administrative expectations for the elected Highway Superintendent, including statutory compliance, financial record-keeping, an OSHA-compliant safety program due by June 30, 2026, and mandatory annual training completion by Dec. 31.
The Town of Moira Board approved Resolution #148-2025 at its Nov. 18 special meeting, adopting detailed administrative expectations for the elected Highway Superintendent to improve transparency, accountability, safety, and operational effectiveness.
The resolution, moved by Councilman Justin Robinson and seconded by Councilman Adam Deuyour, requires statutory compliance with New York State Highway Law and Town Law, annual highway inspections, and maintenance of a current inventory of machinery and equipment. It also mandates budgeting and financial oversight measures: the superintendent must collaborate with the Town Board on the annual highway budget, justify major expenditures, and submit written records of fuel usage, maintenance costs, mileage, repair logs, payroll time sheets, and activity reports to the Town Clerk by close of business on the Friday before the next regular Town Board meeting.
On safety, the resolution directs the Highway Superintendent to develop, implement and maintain an OSHA-compliant safety program for all Highway Department employees no later than June 30, 2026, and to ensure all subordinate employees complete required annual OSHA training prior to Dec. 31 each year. The Superintendent must report annually to the Town Board on training completion, hazards identified, and corrective actions taken. The resolution takes effect immediately and was adopted by a 4–0 roll-call vote.
