Summary
At its June 8 meeting the Ogdensburg Mayor and Council unanimously approved three resolutions: a $10,700 fence contract for Borough Hall and DPW, renewal of two liquor licenses for 2026–27, and the appointment of a part-time tax assessor effective June 9, 2026.
The Ogdensburg Mayor and Council unanimously approved three administrative resolutions at their June 8 meeting.
The council awarded a contract to Abate Fence Company LLC for replacement fencing at Borough Hall and the Department of Public Works, a package that includes a cedar 2-rail split-rail fence for the municipal building (material and labor $3,700) and 131 feet of 4-foot galvanized chain-link fence with a cantilever gate for the DPW (material and labor $7,000), for a total of $10,700. Council members said funds are available through Ordinance 06-2020, section D. The motion to approve the consent agenda that included the contract passed on a roll-call vote with all council members voting yes.
The council also approved Resolution 60-2026 renewing borough liquor licenses effective July 1, 2026. The renewal list includes plenary retail consumption license 1916-32-004-006 for Stew N Dollys Place LLC and plenary retail distribution license 1916-44-003-006 for the business listed under Tammie Mannion; fees and licensing terms are set in the resolution.
Separately, the council adopted Resolution 58-2026 appointing Kristen Umansky, CTA, as the borough’s part-time tax assessor at an annual salary of $20,000, effective June 9, 2026. The appointment is explicitly contingent on receipt of a negative criminal-history background check and fingerprinting within one month of hire.
All three motions passed unanimously on roll-call votes with Yeas recorded for Council members Ciasullo, Cowdrick, DeMeo, Gandarinho, Gordon and Lame and no Nays, Absences or Abstentions noted in the minutes.
The council record notes that the fence contract will be administered by the mayor, borough clerk and chief financial officer as ministerial steps to execute the agreement. The minutes do not list a specific construction start date or expected completion date for the fence work.
