Resident noise complaint about National Fuel distribution station added to Monday agenda
Summary
The board added an agenda item after a motion to consider a Grover Road resident's noise complaint about a National Fuel distribution station; the resident, Sawyer Murphy, may petition the state utility regulator and could attend the Monday meeting to request signatures from individual board members.
Board members voted on June 16 to add an item to the Monday meeting agenda regarding a long-running noise complaint from a Grover Road resident about a National Fuel gas distribution station.
The resident, identified in the meeting as Sawyer Murphy, has been pursuing relief for nearly a year and has discussed petitioning the state Public Utilities Commission (PUC). A board member outlined options for triggering PUC attention, including a petition signed by a threshold number of neighbors or signatures from elected officials representing the area. The board noted that if members sign, they would do so as individuals rather than on behalf of the town.
The resident was unavailable to attend the June 16 work session but may be able to come to the Monday meeting to present his case. The board agreed to place the matter on the next agenda so members and the resident can discuss next steps and potential individual signatures for a petition.
No formal town action or legal filing was made on June 16; the addition to the agenda was procedural and designed to allow the resident to present the complaint and for board members to decide whether to sign any petition individually.
