LGA offers $2,500 for sediment-basin work; Hague board debates contract language and signatures
Summary
The board considered a resolution to support excavating the Smith/Westhade sediment basin with a one-time $2,500 Lake George Association contribution; public commenters and some board members said prior agreements and responsibilities were unclear and asked to amend the resolution and add signatures before proceeding.
The board discussed a proposed resolution supporting excavation of the Smith/Westhade sediment basin with the Lake George Association offering a one-time $2,500 grant toward the work. The resolution included conditions: town-provided equipment and labor, LGA grant funding, and a requirement that access be granted before, during, and after the work for monitoring.
Public speakers and some board members noted an earlier contract and said the LGA had previously agreed to contribute $3,500 under a prior agreement. A resident said that if prior commitments exist, the new resolution should not invalidate them. One board member urged tabling and revision to avoid appearing to amend the original contract. The Chair and others said the resolution was a narrow, one-time authorization focused on permitting access and monitoring; they agreed to add required signatures from property owners and clarify that the original contract remains in force. The board moved forward conditionally and asked staff to revise the language as requested.
