Council reviews reports: sheriff, fire responses, MMIA library underwriting concern, and budget schedule
Summary
Council received routine reports: the sheriff’s report and planning board update, fire department responses to recent structure fires, ongoing erosion on 2nd Avenue, and a library underwriting concern related to an MMIA notice; the council scheduled budget work for July 18 and approved the consent agenda.
The Twin Bridges Town Council reviewed routine reports and administrative items at its July 8 meeting. The Sheriff's report was presented and noted; the Sheriff's MOU remains under review by Dan Clark (at MSU), according to the minutes. The Madison County Planning Board had no new items to report.
The Fire Department reported it had assisted at multiple structure fires in the district, helped shut off gas at one incident, provided mutual aid in Whitehall, and responded to a controlled burn that got out of control. Maintenance Supervisor Rick described ongoing coordination with contractor 4050 and noted that town streets are dusty; council members requested pursuing dust-abatement measures. "Joe" has focused on mowing and cleanup in public areas, per the minutes.
Attorney Lori raised concerns about an MMIA notice addressing underwriting criteria for the library; the minutes state Lori was "upset" about the MMIA criteria discussion but do not record specific legal conclusions or next steps. The Town Clerk reviewed minutes needing signatures, past-due bills, checks to be issued, claims for approval, and a grant application for Twin Bridges School youth technology (the minutes specify the grant must be used specifically for computers). The council scheduled budget work for July 18 at 6 p.m. and approved the consent agenda by motion recorded in the minutes. The next regular meeting is set for August 12, 2025, and the meeting adjourned at 9:08 p.m.
