Ogdensburg reports DPW productivity, but fire truck repair deferred to 2027 budget
Summary
Council heard DPW and fire-department updates: DPW completed multiple vehicle services, picked up ~16 tons of leaves and prepared for plow season as a new temporary hire is onboarded; the fire department's truck needs transmission and other work estimated between $7,500 (partial) and $11,000–$12,000 (complete), likely deferred to the 2027 budget.
Mayor Hutnick and council members reported progress on public works preparations for winter: several trucks were serviced (oil pan replacement, grease/inspection of a Freightliner), plows and sanders were repaired, and DPW crews removed about 16 tons of leaves. The mayor said with the new temporary hire on board work on the garage and additional repairs will begin, weather permitting.
Councilman DeMeo reported on the fire department: the apron project is complete but the fire truck requires transmission work, has a fluid leak and water ingress into a housing. Full repairs were estimated at "about eleven or twelve thousand" dollars; a partial repair could be done for roughly $7,500. Council discussion indicated the work will likely be considered in next year’s capital budget.
