Greenport, for what it's worth, has a Streets and Hwy Dept in addition to a Water Dept. I think most municipalities split it up. Regardless, if DPw can't get stuff done, reorganize so that the big and little things get taken care of. We are not a bankrupt city, but sometimes it appears that way. Rob Perry's voicemail inbox is always full (on purpose, apparently), and his assistant recently told me that " we never see Rob, he is never in the DPW office. Just when payroll rolls around." Sure sign that a superintendent is overburdened.BILLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06165652134301551300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5723709701684173708.post-23791594056407351462017-09-26T13:05:59.528-04:002017-09-26T13:05:59.528-04:00This is a wonderful idea!

Miller who has written an inspiring book "Parks, Plants, and People" about her career from artist to public garden designer, which I highly recommend. She also conceived the Daffodil Project to commemorate 9/11 by planting millions of daffodils in public spaces around New York City. Her influence inspired Claverack to commemorate the 300th Anniversary of the founding of Reformed Dutch Church of Claverack, the 250th anniversary of the current church building, and Claverack’s Dutch heritage by also planting, so far, about 50,000 daffodils in our town.
