Union Bridge council appoints Kotowski as planning alternate, approves budget transfers for equipment and stream work
Summary
The Union Bridge Town Council approved the appointment of Kate Kotowski as an alternate to the planning and zoning commission and reaffirmed Logan Grossnickle as the council liaison, and passed a budget amendment to shift funds for equipment and to address stream-crossing infiltration.
Council member Laura moved that Kate Kotowski be appointed as an alternate on the Town of Union Bridge Planning and Zoning Commission; the motion was seconded and approved by voice vote.
The council also confirmed Logan Grossnickle as the council’s liaison to the planning and zoning board after Laura proposed adding him to that role.
The mayor read a budget amendment transferring funds within the fiscal 2025 budget to cover equipment expenditures (including a turn mower), a field investigation and cleaning to address infiltration at the Western Seward stream crossing. The amendment was moved, seconded and approved by voice vote.
"I'll make a motion that we appoint Kate Kotowski for the alternate on planning and zoning commission," Laura said when making the motion. The council voiced its approval with no recorded dissent.
Why it matters: the appointments ensure the council will have representation at planning and zoning meetings; the budget transfers fund immediate equipment and repair work related to ongoing stream infiltration that town staff said is affecting sewer infrastructure.
What’s next: council members said they expect more zoning meetings if local development proceeds and that the approved budget transfers will allow immediate repairs and inspections to move forward. The meeting adjourned into a closed session for legal advice after these items.
