The Columbia County Board of Supervisors approved multiple routine and project-specific resolutions on Dec. 11.
Among the adopted items, the board approved Resolution 84, which authorizes the county's public-works commission and engineering department, working with consultant CHA, to submit a New York State Department of Transportation project package for complete replacement of the existing Stuyvesant bridge with a two-lane multi-girder superstructure and new abutments as the county's preferred design option. Multiple supervisors supported the resolution and the board recorded a roll-call vote and announced the resolution passed.
The board also read and adopted a proclamation recognizing the 100th anniversary of the New York State Association of Counties (NYSAC) and approved a series of other resolutions offered by supervisors, most of which were taken as a group on roll-call votes.
Ending: The board carried a block of resolutions and recorded roll calls for project authorizations and proclamations; specific implementation steps for capital projects will follow standard county procedures and consultant agreements.
Quotes: "This proposal is the best path forward from an accounting perspective," said one supervisor supporting the Stuyvesant bridge submission and noting support from the Town of Stuyvesant's board (first at SEG 679).
