The Washington County Board of Supervisors approved resolutions authorizing the issuance of serial bonds not to exceed $1,320,000 to replace the Drifting Ridge pump station and the Argyle Street pump station in the village of Fort Edward.

The bond authorization (filed in two linked resolutions on the agenda) covers replacement of pump-station equipment, force mains, valves, instrumentation and electrical systems. Supervisor Wilson moved the bond resolution and the board proceeded with a roll-call vote after discussion. The chair noted the item required a two-thirds vote; the resolution was adopted following the roll call.

Nut graf: County officials said the bond proceeds will fund replacement and control-system upgrades at two wastewater pump stations in Fort Edward, work described in the resolutions as including force mains, valves, instrumentation and electrical components.

The body of the discussion focused on procedural confirmation that the board understood the scope and the two-thirds vote threshold for the bond issuance. The resolutions were taken together on the consent/regular calendar; no additional amendments to scope or amount were recorded during the meeting.

Ending: With the board's adoption, county staff may proceed with the bond issuance process consistent with the authorization granted; the resolutions indicated the projects are located in the village of Fort Edward and intended to fund station replacement and related electrical and control upgrades.
