Town of Lloyd board approves minutes, budget amendments and DOT request; moves to executive session on litigation
Summary
At its Aug. 21 meeting the Town of Lloyd Town Board approved minutes, authorized payment of audited vouchers, adopted CHIPS and general budget amendments, voted to send a letter to DOT about making South Chapel Hill Road one-way, and entered executive session to discuss litigation.
The Town of Lloyd Town Board on Aug. 21 handled routine business after opening a public hearing on the draft comprehensive plan and voted on several administrative items.
In formal actions the board approved minutes from its June 26 regular meeting and the July 3 workshop, authorized payment of audited vouchers and approved two budget amendments: a CHIPS-funded transfer of $154,000 to the highway capital improvement budget for paving on Newal Road and a set of general fund adjustments to align accounts. The board discussed an unsigned voucher related to a truck purchase and said it would resolve the signature issue with staff.
Traffic request and DOT letter: the board considered a resident's request (Mr. Doro of South Chapel Hill Road) to make South Chapel Hill Road a one-way street after increased traffic following a new Stewart's convenience store. The board authorized a motion to send a letter to the New York State Department of Transportation requesting a review and potential traffic study; the motion passed and the board will notify the resident.
Dates and procurement: the board noted a bid opening for pavilion restroom/storage and overhead doors on Aug. 27 and that pavilion pump startup work is scheduled for Aug. 28. Council members also discussed street-light pole adjustments, reset work by town crews, and coordination with Central Hudson and other utilities on an undergrounding/streetcape planning project in the hamlet.
Executive session: the board moved into executive session to discuss litigation. No further public detail was provided in the transcript.
Outcome and next steps: most motions on Aug. 21 were approved by the board during the meeting; specific roll-call tallies were not recorded in the public transcript. The board said it will follow up with staff on the unsigned voucher and will send the DOT letter this week, then report back to the resident who requested the change.
