The towns Mayor, the Honorable George Garner was elected in 2022. Mayor Garner inherited several deficiencies with the water and wastewater departments operation and maintenance. The town is currently under contract with a certified operator for compliance requirements and the towns field crew of two is responsible for the maintenance. Upon the mayors inception the town was only using one field crew member for all the field duties throughout the town. It was evident the town needed a larger workforce when the compliance violations started coming to the surface. The mayor was also dealing with an inherited debt from a previous engineering and construction firm that is crippling the towns ability to move forward. This past relationship with that firm involved construction projects that were mismanaged and in particularly one incident which caused a sanitary sewer overflow. This incident ended in enforcement action and a fine to the town.

One of the most important things the mayor has been pushing for is to get the town’s financial audits up to date. The municipal audits had not been completed for several years and the town is not eligible for water and sewer funding assistance because of delinquent audits. The office staff an the mayor understand how important this is and have been encouraging the auditors to complete this as soon as possible. The town anticipates their audits should be up to date by the end of 2023.

I wonder how that went
