Road Committee Meeting - Voice your Concerns - June 1st
There will be a Road Committee meeting on Friday June 1st between 7 and 9 PM at SpecTec in South Glastonbury.
Recently the Road Committee at the urging of Road Chair Dennis Riley and Director Regina Wunsch voted to cancel both the remainder of the 2017 Fall Grading contract and the entire 2018 Spring Grading contract. Nine GLA board members voted for cancelling the contracts. Over $50,000.00 worth of road services promised to landowners and approved and funded by the GLA Board were cancelled. No reason was given.
North Glastonbury was especially hard hit. Low South lost $15,000.00 of road improvements and that money will be used to fix flood damage in High South.
What do you think of the motion to cancel existing contracts and deny much needed road services to landowners? Some directors want to "fix" the newest contract by adding services cancelled back in. Road Committee member Tim Brockett wants to see both the 2017 Fall Grading and 2018 Spring grading contract reinstated. He believes that promises made to landowners should not be broken. Brockett will present a motion that restores both contracts and works to restore trust between landowners and the Road Committee.
What do you think? Post your comments below and bring them to the Road Committee meeting on Friday.
