Saranac Lake trustees review Sandpit property vision and Community Enhancement Fund project
Summary
Trustees reviewed a draft vision and goals document for the Sandpit property prepared by the Housing Advisory Board and discussed a Community Enhancement Fund project involving 'ghost panels'; no formal board action was recorded on these items at the meeting.
At the June 22, 2026 meeting, Saranac Lake trustees reviewed a draft vision and goals document for the Sandpit property prepared by the Housing Advisory Board. Trustees discussed the planning goals and the conceptual direction of the draft but did not adopt or direct a formal course of action during the meeting.
The board also reviewed a project proposal under the Community Enhancement Fund described in the packet as involving 'ghost panels.' Trustees discussed the project proposal and reviewed materials included in the agenda, but the transcript does not record a motion or final decision on the proposal during this session.
During public comment, resident Mary Agnes Pillitteri spoke about her tax bill and urged trustees to carefully review any items that could increase the tax burden; she also expressed that she hopes the new attorneys will act in the village’s best interest and stated her belief in freedom of the press. The meeting later proceeded to executive session and adjourned without recorded votes on the Sandpit vision or the Ghost Panels project.
The review of the Sandpit vision signals continued planning activity; the village manager and advisory boards are the likely next points of contact for any updates or follow-up work, though the minutes do not specify assignments or deadlines.
