Mayor directs no bathrooms at Riverside Park; board hears updates on stormwater work and a NY PLAYS grant application
Summary
Mayor Brunette directed that Riverside Park will not include bathrooms; staff reported upcoming bids for Dorsey Street and Lake Colby stormwater work and received approval to pursue a NY PLAYS grant for Ampersand Garwood POW Park. Bayle will search for the old parking study; an Amerigas property conversion to parking was also discussed.
During the June 11 meeting, the Downtown Advisory Board received a Community Development update that included project directions, planned bids, and grant-seeking authority.
Mayor Brunette gave direction that there will be no public bathrooms at Riverside Park and asked staff to prepare a concept plan that locates the bandshell on the opposite side of the park. Staff reported that the Village is preparing to advertise bids for a Dorsey Street and Lake Colby stormwater report as well as civil and site work at Lake Colby; the minutes say a subcommittee will be formed after selection of a subcontractor. The minutes also record that the board received approval to move forward with applying for a NY PLAYS grant toward the Ampersand Garwood POW Park. The minutes do not specify the terms or funding amounts for the grant application or who will draft the application.
On parking, Bayle was asked to locate and send the old parking study to the board for review; the possibility of creating a parking committee and the idea of converting the Amerigas property into a parking garage were raised. The minutes note a Car Show planned for the following weekend and ongoing finance/CEF committee work on 'ghost panels.'
The minutes include no vote tallies, mover/second information or precise budgets for the stormwater work or grant application; those details were not specified in the record provided.
