Board hears Newton Falls Sewer District update; DANC declines assistance
Summary
Deputy Supervisor John Russell reported that DANC declined to assist the Newton Falls Sewer District; Russell will work on an alternate plan. The board also noted it needs three quotes for electrical service related to a county safety assessment.
Deputy Supervisor John Russell told the board that the town reached out to DANC (Development Authority of the North Country) for help with the Newton Falls Sewer District, but DANC is not interested in providing assistance. Russell said he is working on an alternate plan to address sewer-district needs.
The board also recorded the need to obtain three quotes for electrical service as part of a county safety assessment; no quotes were recorded at the meeting.
Why it matters: sewer-district planning and funding often require intergovernmental cooperation and technical support; DANC’s refusal shifts the burden to town staff to develop alternatives. Obtaining multiple contractor quotes is a routine step toward compliance with county safety recommendations.
What’s next: Russell will continue pursuing options; the timeline for resolution was not recorded in the minutes.
