9. Chris Santangelo from the Town of New Hudson requested the board consider the bridge on Haskins Road for the 2011 Bridge Program. Mr. Santangelo explained to the committee this bridge not only impacts residents of New Hudson but also of Belfast and even part of the Town of Belfast’s plow route. Mr. Santangelo went on to discuss how the town has put money into the bridge to fix the red flags to have the State close it just a few months later. Mr. Fanton questioned if the Town has money for this project. Mr. Roeske stated that he had not heard from the Town Supervisor or the Superintendent regarding this bridge. He would like one of them to contact him to discuss this bridge. Mr. Ungermann advised the Committee this bridge was a priority over the Town of Grove Bridge last year however the Committee chose to have the department replace the Town of Grove Bridge. Mr. Roeske reminded the Committee both the Town of Grove and New Hudson were invited to the meeting to present their towns arguments for their bridges and only the Town of Grove was present. Mr. Roeske stated he realizes the financial problems the Town of New Hudson has faced and that the department can’t start a project without knowing the town has their portion of the project.

10. The meeting was adjourned at 2:45 p.m. following a motion made by Mr. Healy and seconded by Mr. Curran and carried.

Respectfully submitted:

Lea Dorrett, Secretary to Superintendent
