Electrical upgrade near completion; Common Council approved $6 million bond increase for broader project
Summary
City staff reported the electrical upgrade is about 90–95% complete. The Common Council approved a $6 million increase to bond authorization, bringing the overall project authorization to $20 million; staff said that allows grant pursuit but does not mean the city has issued bonds.
City staff told the Glens Falls City Water and Sewer board on Monday that the facility electrical upgrade is about 90 to 95 percent complete.
Board members said the Common Council approved a $6 million increase in bond authorization for the broader project, bringing the project authorization to $20 million. Meeting remarks clarified the council’s action increases the amount available to bond but is not the same as issuing bonds; the board said the increased authorization will allow the city to pursue grant funding and other financing options.
Staff reported the water and sewer superintendent has been asked to present the electrical upgrade status to the Common Council. The board noted some remaining tasks and said most of the bench work is finished and the city is coordinating remaining pieces with contractors.
No formal vote on bonding was taken by the Water and Sewer board at the meeting; the council’s bond authorization was reported as background information for the board’s ongoing project oversight.
