Committee seeks 'blueprint' for roads after RSMS delays; DPW asked to own spreadsheet
Committee members spent an extended portion of the meeting pressing for a stable, owned road-condition plan after months of delayed deliverables from consultants. One member framed the request succinctly: "What needs to be done today? What needs to be done tomorrow? What needs to be done next year?" and asked for a clear project queue so the committee can prioritize limited funds.

A longer, technical exchange emphasized that an RSMS spreadsheet must be maintained by DPW so finance can lock down a master file for budgeting. One speaker said, "DPW owns it... He owns DPW," and urged DPW to name a primary and secondary owner for the dynamic file so the town can generate defensible, year-by-year cost projections rather than ad-hoc estimates.
