Town of Murray approves DOT amendments to snow-and-ice agreements
Summary
The Town Board unanimously approved Amendment B to the 2024–25 Snow and Ice Agreement and Agreement No.3 for 2025–26 (contract D-014857), both subject to the highway superintendent's approval, to reflect adjusted estimated expenditures and worksheets.
The Town of Murray Board voted unanimously March 16 to accept two adjustments to its New York State Department of Transportation snow-and-ice contract (Contract #D014857, dated Nov. 14, 2019).
The first resolution approved Agreement #2, Amendment B to the 2024–25 Snow and Ice Agreement to adjust estimated expenditures tied to winter maintenance operations; the motion was made by Councilperson Lloyd Christ and seconded by Councilperson Elaine Berg. The second resolution approved Agreement #3, which updates the worksheet and terms for the 2025–26 Snow and Ice Agreement; that motion was made by Councilperson Scott Lang and seconded by Councilperson Neil Valentine. Both measures were adopted and include the condition that the highway superintendent must approve the agreements before final execution.
The board’s actions respond to updated cost estimates for snow-and-ice control and maintain the Town’s participation in the state reimbursement framework. The resolutions authorize the town supervisor to sign any paperwork necessary to effectuate the amendments with the New York State Department of Transportation. No vote tallies beyond unanimous adoption were recorded in the transcript.
The highway and water superintendent, Dirk Lammes, briefed the board beforehand on winter operations, saying snow had subsided with recent cleanup, pothole repairs continuing, and no new water issues reported. The approvals put the town’s maintenance contracts in line with updated DOT worksheets and estimated town expenditures for winter services.
The board took the votes as part of routine contract management; the town will proceed with superintendent review and signature steps required to finalize the agreements.
