Murray board approves supplemental agreement actions, adjusts DOT snow-and-ice contract
Summary
The board approved authorization tied to Supplemental Agreement #2 (Contract D014857) subject to attorney review and ratified 2025–2026 adjustments to the NYSDOT snow-and-ice agreement, authorizing the Highway Superintendent to sign related paperwork.
The Murray Town Board on Jan. 26 approved actions related to Supplemental Agreement #2 and adjustments to its snow-and-ice agreement with the New York State Department of Transportation.
The board approved a resolution authorizing Supervisor Gerald Rightmyer to sign documents related to Supplemental Agreement #2 to Contract D014857, subject to town attorney review. Councilperson Scott Lang moved to approve the resolution and Councilperson Elaine Berg seconded; the motion carried unanimously.
Separately, the board approved the 2025–2026 Supplemental Agreement and adjustments to the town’s snow-and-ice agreement with the New York State Department of Transportation (Contract D014857). The resolution authorizes the Highway and Water Superintendent to sign any paperwork required between the town and NYSDOT regarding the agreement. Councilperson Neil Valentine moved the measure, Councilperson Elaine Berg seconded, and the motion was approved unanimously.
Meeting discussion referenced an amendment to a five-year agreement that adjusts plowing prices to reflect increases in employee wages and a FEMA-related allowance that permits amending the salt price tied to the state contract; the attorney requested advance notice on such items to allow legal review before final action.
Context: Highway and Water Superintendent Dirk Lammes also reported operational details earlier in the meeting, including active plowing, equipment repairs, and delivery of about 400 tons of salt. The resolutions carry standard authorization language; one resolution remains conditioned on attorney approval as noted in the record.
Next steps: the Highway Superintendent is authorized to execute paperwork related to the DOT agreement; the town attorney will review Supplemental Agreement #2 as requested by the board.
