The Saratoga County Open Space Committee on March 3 approved the following actions during a regularly scheduled meeting.
• Transfer of funds: Authorized a transfer of $12,500 from the trails reserve to the operating account to close out specified town projects (breakdown cited as $10,000 and $2,500). Staff (Jason) presented the item and the motion passed.
• Snowmobile grant: Approved amending an earlier awarding resolution to accept an increase of the New York State snowmobile grant from $85,000 to $89,532 and to allow up to a 10% administrative fee to cover county program administration.
• Agricultural districts: Approved proposed amendments to Agricultural Districts 1 and 2 following review by the Farmland Protection Board; the county will hold a public hearing at the law & finance meeting and, if no objections are sustained, the board will forward final inclusions for coding on tax maps.
• Applications approved: Committee approved the open‑space and related applications as drafted; staff will return to the committee with project trackers and quarterly updates.
