There were many interesting items discussed in October.
1.) An update was given on the ProcellaCOR lawsuit and Chubb’s dock.
2.) The 2023 Engineer’s report on Sewer District # 1 still has not been released to the public after more than a year.
3.) The costs associated with the Sewer District # 1 pipe burial project continue to grow. An ad-hoc committee is being created “to collect information with forecastable expenses and risk associated with objectives to enhance the planning process and provide a greater transparency to the community.”
4.) Multiple handouts were provided for budget forecasting purposes, projecting Dresden budgets vs Putnam’s and Whitehall’s. A history of how fund surpluses have changed was also provided.
5.) A comment was received from a member of the public about how Putnam is able to pick-up their residents’ garbage.
Many other important topics were discussed. Please read the October minutes to learn more.
On Wednesday, September 18th, the Dresden Town Board unanimously appointed Mr. Charles Tall, of Huletts Landing to the position of Town Supervisor. There were no other interested parties to fill the position. Mr. Tall offered to the board his willingness to serve out the remaining 15 month’s of Paul Ferguson’s term. There was an announcement requesting any other interested candidates or any other considerations and there were none. The town has much pressing business and needed a Town Supervisor to deal with numerous issues. Congratulations and thanks to Mr. Tall for stepping forward.
