Town of Phippsburg 2012 Annual Report

2012 ANNUAL REPORT
Road Committee Report
The Road Committee had six regular meetings in 2012.
The Bond funds approved in 2011 to rehabilitate the paved section of the Basin Road and
the section of Parker Head Road from Egret Point south through Parker Head Village to connect
with the rebuilt curve at Foster’s driveway are currently being used for engineering costs. The
preliminary design of the road section going through Parker Head Village was completed and a
public hearing was held in August which resulted in more design review and research. Soil borings
and final design are currently planned to be ready for the final public hearing in June 2013.
James Lewis resigned this year. The Committee wishes to thank Jimmy for his service and
insight. Richard Wenzel was appointed in December 2012 to fill this vacancy.
The Committee recommends the funds for the 2014 Capital Improvement Program be approved
and the Road Commissioner’s proposed road maintenance budget be approved.
