Committee debates drafting complaint after repeated county engineering delays
Summary
Members described recurring last-minute county engineering comments that delay local projects and proposed drafting a resolution or letter for freeholders; staff was asked to prepare a draft for consideration.
Several committee members criticized the county engineering reviewer for repeated last-minute comments that stall local projects, and a motion was offered to draft a resolution or letter of complaint to the county freeholders.
Members recounted multiple examples where county review delays forced project hold-ups and change orders, including a sidewalk and paving project on Greenwood Street. Chair (S3) and others characterized the reviewer’s timing as disruptive to municipal scheduling and urged a coordinated response across neighboring towns. One member proposed drafting a resolution and circulating it to other municipalities to build support.
The committee asked staff to draft a letter or resolution stating the town’s concerns for review in executive or a future session; members signaled they would consider regional outreach if other municipalities join the complaint. No formal letter was adopted at the meeting.
