TICONDEROGA — The Town Board approved a package of routine resolutions by voice vote, including a right-of-entry for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to study wetlands, a street closure for the July 25 annual festival, increases to lifeguard pay, and several assessment and account adjustments.
Among the actions the board carried:
- Approved a resolution authorizing the town supervisor to sign a right-of-entry agreement with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers for a wetlands study supporting the Gooseneck Pond MPR.
- Approved closing Moncom Street from Lake Turk Avenue to Champlain Avenue on July 25 for the annual street festival.

- Approved multiple assessment/account changes (water/sewer EDU updates) and fund transfers and ratified personnel contract actions (including ratifying and rescinding employment offers where noted in the record).
Most votes were recorded by voice and carried with no roll-call tally given in the meeting transcript.

Next steps: staff will post formal resolutions and update the town website with meeting materials and implementation details.
