Ogdensburg approves Ogdensburg Day use of Memorial Field, discusses safety grant and police equipment estimates
Summary
The council approved a facility-use application and fee waiver for Ogdensburg Day on June 20, 2026, accepted raffle-license filings, and discussed competing cost estimates for a police department door project and associated safety equipment under a Statewide Safety Grant.
The Borough of Ogdensburg on April 27 approved a facility-use application from Jane Krueger of the Ogdensburg Historical Society to hold Ogdensburg Day at Ogdensburg Memorial Field on June 20, 2026. The council approved set-up and clean-up dates (June 19 and June 21) and waived the facility fee.
The consent agenda also included approval of multiple raffle-license applications filed by PTO Ogdensburg for events on June 6 and June 20, 2026; those items were approved on the consent vote.
Council members discussed using Statewide Safety Grant funds for police equipment and a building door project. Estimates for door replacement and related work differed: a $4,800 figure was mentioned (covering door, installation, hardware and pillar wrap) and a lower estimate of $1,975.94 was also presented for the door alone, with an additional roughly $300 for a keypad; installation costs would be extra. Clerk Robin Hough said the police requested breaching tools (one per vehicle) with an estimated cost of about $1,000 for three. Council members noted the grant (about $2,000) will not cover all listed items and asked for a detailed cost breakdown to prioritize spending.
Public comment: Jane Krueger, representing the Ogdensburg Historical Society, said the Society will be open the last Sunday of each summer month and plans to sell T-shirts and pint glasses on Ogdensburg Day; she also asked whether the police planned to host a booth.
What’s next: Council requested a line-item estimate for the door project and other safety purchases so it can prioritize use of limited grant funds; the facility use and raffle licenses will proceed as approved.
