Wayne County approves microgrid study, Verizon lease and several administrative items
Summary
The Public Works Committee voted unanimously to authorize a preliminary microgrid engineering study, a lease with Verizon, rescind an existing generator maintenance resolution, declare surplus equipment, approve CDL license reimbursements and set a 2027 mechanical hourly rate. The actions passed by 5‑0 where recorded.
The Wayne County Public Works Committee on July 8 approved a package of administrative transmittals, including a microgrid preliminary engineering study with E2Companies LLC and a lease agreement with Verizon Wireless.
Superintendent Kevin Rooney and Deputy Superintendent Scott Kolczynski presented the items; the committee recorded the following approvals as 5‑0 votes: authorization to sign an agreement with E2Companies LLC for a microgrid preliminary engineering study; authorization to sign a lease agreement with Verizon Wireless; authorization to rescind Resolution 285‑26 relating to generator maintenance and service; authorization to declare vehicles and equipment surplus; and authorization to set the 2027 hourly rate for mechanical work in the central garage. The transmittal to reimburse employees for their CDL license was also approved.
Rooney framed the CDL reimbursement approval within broader workforce planning, saying "the department is exploring the possibility of becoming a CDL training center rather than continuing to rely solely on BOCES." Establishing an in‑house program would require a certified trainer and curriculum development, Rooney said, and those next steps will be reported back as planning continues.
The committee recorded the approvals as procedural items to allow departmental operations to proceed and to support staffing and equipment management.
