Sidewalk repair in Munster has been put on hold, at least until the Town Council can further discuss how it wants to handle it.
The council at its Monday night meeting attempted to take up a resolution concerning its current 50/50 program — by which the town requires an affected resident to pay 50% of the repair — but the motion died for lack of a second. The issue, Council President Dave Nellans said, is complicated because “there are two sides to it.”
“Historically, with the 50/50, we’ve had situations where the homeowner wasn’t notified ,” Councilman Jonathan Petersen, R-5, said, referencing the study session discussion. During it, the council acknowledged it was unclear that the town had a reliable system that shows residents were notified at least 30 days before the sidewalk work started, but Comptroller/Interim Town Manager Patricia Abbott then pointed out that those notices can be tracked by accounts receivable.
The council also reappointed Munster Realtor Matt Maloney as its representative to the South Shore Convention and Visitors Authority. A new provision in state law prohibits SSCVA Board members from any other municipal board positions; Maloney also served on the town’s Safety Board but resigned before the council meeting.
Additionally, Westland said during the May 29 study session that Maloney might want to stay on the CVA Board because he’s currently named in the wrongful termination lawsuit former SSCVA President and CEO Speros Bastistatos filed against the organization; the SSCVA board, however, voted in March to cover everyone named in the suit even if they were no longer on the board.
