Middletown IDA administrative director reports near‑100% contractor compliance; board approves routine FedEx payment

At the Jan. 6 meeting of the City of Middletown Industrial Development Agency, administrative director Maria Bridal delivered the final PolyCraft inspection report and said contractor compliance was nearly complete.

"Average contractor compliance was 99%," Bridal said, and she noted the general contractor, Landmark Interiors, was fully compliant and assisted in the audit process. She reported that labor reports and contractors’ insurance were submitted in a timely manner and that contractors met local labor compliance goals.

Under bills and communications, the board received a Federal Express invoice related to a pilot program totaling $239.96 and moved to approve payment. During discussion a member noted a typographical error in the invoice date (recorded in the voucher as 12/12/1955); staff corrected the date to 2025 and apologized.

Bridal also reminded members to return signed harassment‑acknowledgment forms and fiduciary‑independence certificates, and said the board self‑evaluation is due Jan. 30 and must be returned anonymously in the provided envelope rather than by email.

The board took no substantive programmatic action on PolyCraft at this meeting beyond receiving the report and approving routine administrative payments and reminders.
