It ought to be obvious that something is seriously wrong with the Town Hall renovation. For the past 2 months, there has been no signs of any activity in the building at any time of day. No workmen, no work vehicles, no noise, no nothing. Is there a strike? Did we stop paying the contractors? The place is obviously not finished. Why has it taken this long for 1 of the 9 councillors to speak up?

Neither LadyJane, morganika nor I spoke reguarding snow handling or removal issues.
Added "Bold" face.
I don't have a problem with snow handling or removal!
Why would I speak!

Oldetowne, I agree with you on this. I have been involved with construction for over 15 years and have managed large construction projects and renovations. I can tell you this, I would be unemployed if I was running that project. It always amazed me that in municipal work their is this mentality that time limits and monetary constraints are not something you need to adhere to. In the rest of the construction world those factors are what drive the project. We have seen succesful projects in the past few years in town (Stillman Bldg., Webb School, Silas Deane) so we know it can be done. Let's learn from our mistakes and successes and do it right in the future.

The Town Website (wethersfieldct.com) has the minutes for the Town Hall Renovation Building Commitee meetings. But, even though that group meets 2 or 3 times each month, there are no minutes shown for any dates more recent than September 05. Could it be that the Commitee has disbanded; I don't think so; could it be that the work stoppage has been discussed there? could it be that some people do not want the minutes readily available to the public?

Everyone forgets this is Wethersfield. Did you forget the High School debacle?
With all the projects that we have had and will have in the future, we should have on our payroll a "clerk of the works", someone that works for us and looks out for us, not a construction manager or a retired somebody.
