Trustees press for recourse after contractor leaves Bridge Street path damaged
Summary
Trustee Scott McMillin reported a contractor left the Bridge Street multi-use path area in poor condition; staff say the contractor later partially cleaned up and the village attorney will research possible recourse and enforcement options.
Trustee Scott McMillin told the board that a contractor working on the Bridge Street multi-use path left the site "a complete disaster" and that village staff subsequently saw an effort to clean up the work area. McMillin said the contractor's work left roadways and landscaping damaged and asked the village to pursue stronger oversight and possible remedies.
Village Administrator Thomas Durkin confirmed staff photographed the condition and that the contractor later made a partial cleanup. Trustee McMillin asked whether the village has recourse to require repair of public roadways and landscaping damaged by a contractor; Village Attorney David Silverman said he would check in with Durkin and follow up on potential legal remedies. "If a contractor destroys a road, we should have some recourse," Silverman said, according to the minutes.
No formal enforcement action or financial charge-back was recorded in the minutes; McMillin asked staff to pursue remedies and Durkin and Silverman agreed to follow up outside the public meeting.
