Board approves demolition, repair contracts and surplus declarations; residents praise concerts, raise rec-field maintenance concerns
Summary
Warrensburg trustees accepted a demolition bid for the King Street property (low bid recommended), approved J&K Trucking for a water-line repair near Osborne Bridge (approx. $56,600), declared two water-department vehicles surplus, and heard public comments praising summer concerts and flagging a loose bathroom sink at the recreation field.
The Warrensburg Town Board on June 12 approved several contracts and administrative actions and heard public comments about summer events and recreation maintenance.
On capital and maintenance matters, the board accepted a low demolition bid (Jackson Demolition Services) for the King Street property with an eye toward preparing the parcel for senior housing and salvaging stone from the site. The board also declared a 1998 CAT loader and a 2012 XL pickup truck surplus and authorized placing them for sale on GovDeals.
For water infrastructure, trustees approved a bid from J&K Trucking & Excavating to repair a water line at the Osborne Bridge after town staff said the work exceeded in‑house capacity; the bid amounts discussed were in the mid‑$50,000 range and the motion passed by voice vote.
In public comments, Claire Bates highlighted the upcoming pavilion concert series (attendance averaged about 75 people last year and patrons come from surrounding towns) and asked for a board welcome at the next concert. A resident thanked staff for the rec-field improvements but raised safety concerns about a sink pulling away from the women’s restroom wall and asked that the town either fix it or provide volunteer painting assistance. The board encouraged residents to report vandalism and said the beach opens June 20 with summer rec programs to follow after July 4.
All contract approvals and surplus declarations were taken by voice vote; specific recorded roll-call tallies were not provided in the transcript.
