Dresden Town Board October Regular Meeting Minutes

The draft minutes for the October regular meeting of the Dresden Town Board have been posted on the town’s website.

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.
