Board approves SEQRA steps and schedules December public vote on capital project
Summary
Board approved SEQRA documentation and a resolution to hold a public vote in December on a proposed capital improvement project (transcript describes the project as '30,000,002 part capital improvement project 2024'); superintendent scheduled a public forum for Dec. 12 and said Proposition 1 must pass for Proposition 2 to take effect.
The Eden Central School District board voted to authorize completion of State Environmental Quality Review Act (SEQRA) documentation and to publish legal notice for a public vote on a proposed capital improvement project described in the meeting transcript as the "30,000,002 part capital improvement project 2024." The board set the vote for Dec. 17 with a public forum scheduled for Dec. 12 at 6 p.m. in the same room.
Superintendent said Proposition 1 covers maintenance and modernization items—"roofs and sidewalks and parking lots and a couple of classrooms"—and that Proposition 2 (larger modernization work, including auditorium and hallway renovations) cannot pass unless Proposition 1 passes. "At this point, I am going to schedule a public forum on December 12 at 6PM in this room, to invite the public in to learn more about the project," the superintendent said.
Board members confirmed the public-vote timeline and noted the construction would occur in a future window if approved. The board also discussed outreach plans: meetings with building staff and PTAs and production of a video with the district PR specialist to explain project details. The transcript's numeric description of the project title appears unclear; reporters should treat the figure in the transcript as quoted language rather than a verified monetary amount.
