Town scales back parade request; board records $5,000 contribution
Summary
Organizers asked for $12,000 for the 2025 Fort Edward parade; the board noted the larger request but recorded a $5,000 contribution in the preliminary budget workshop as court-related expenses raise overall costs.
Paul McCarty, a meeting participant, argued for emphasizing Fort Edward's history in the 2025 parade, noting the town was named nearly 270 years ago and saying Fort Edward's anniversary "should be emphasized as a part of that celebration." Supervisor Fisher said the parade organizers requested $12,000 from the Town but that taking on Justice Court and Court Clerk duties next year increases the town's expenses.
The workshop record shows the board-recorded contribution for the parade at $5,000. No formal roll-call vote on the parade contribution is recorded in the minutes; the amount was captured as part of the budget workshop discussion and will be reflected in the preliminary budget to be presented at the Oct. 15 public hearing.
