Bloomville council weighs vacating or selling alley; survey and publication costs estimated
Summary
Council discussed vacating or selling a village alley and heard that the Auditor’s Office wants a clearer definition and a survey; Keegan Associates estimated the survey at about $500 and publication costs at $300–$350, and council discussed setting a sale price to recover village costs.
Council members discussed whether to vacate or sell an alley, and the Auditor’s Office asked for a more descriptive definition to support the action, which the council was told would require a survey.
Keegan Associates provided an estimated survey cost of about $500 and publication costs were estimated at $300–$350, subject to confirmation. Council discussed setting a sale price intended to recover village costs and cited a rough recovery target of $800–$1,000 but did not set a final price. A consensus emerged to continue pursuing the matter pending legal confirmation and final cost verification.
The council did not take a final vote on vacating or selling the alley at the meeting and directed staff to confirm survey and publication costs and to coordinate with the solicitor and Auditor’s Office on the required procedures.
