Mamakating board sets bids, accepts swim grant and waives a fire-company permit fee
Summary
At the Aug. 19 meeting the Mamakating Town Board set multiple bid dates for fuel and a FEMA park repair project, approved fall cleanup dates, accepted a state/county swim grant, and waived a building permit fee for Bloomingberg Fire Company.
The Mamakating Town Board on Aug. 19 handled a batch of routine administrative items: it set a Sept. 9 bid-opening for fuel and road materials and a Sept. 25 bid-opening for a FEMA‑funded park walking bridge and gravel‑bar repair (with a Sept. 5 pre‑bid meeting). The board also approved fall cleanup dates (Oct. 3–5) for resident use of town dumpsters and ratified a correction to the clerk’s New York State retirement workday report.
Board members approved a waiver of the building permit fee requested by the Bloomingberg Fire Company for a new station and ratified acceptance of a state/county swim grant for park programming under a prepared resolution. The board also approved its abstract of bills and routine financial reports and recorded minutes for the prior meeting for posting online.
Highway activity was discussed: John read the highway superintendent’s report (submitted by Thomas Marorrow), outlining paving and preventive maintenance work, with plans to finish resurfacing and use some in‑house materials for remaining roads.
Public‑comment items during the meeting included library event announcements and concern from a resident about the distribution of recent state health‑care funding and its implications for Sullivan County Medicaid recipients. The board adjourned with plans to meet again in mid‑September.
