Diversity advisory committee updates boat launch, signage and welcome sign plans
Summary
Jane Haugh, representing the Keene Diversity Advisory Committee, updated the board on the Chappel Pond accessible boat launch site plan, proposed permanent RESPECT signage (potential cost-sharing with Saranac Lake), and suggested 'Keene Welcome all' additions under town signs; Supervisor Wilson noted DOT permits are required for permanent signs.
Jane Haugh, speaking on behalf of the Keene Diversity Advisory Committee, told the Town Board the DEC representative is preparing the site plan for the Chappel Pond accessible boat launch and said, "we should have that before it goes up for public comment," with planned work to begin in the spring.
Haugh also reported strong local support for the RESPECT sign and said the committee would seek pricing and possible cost sharing with Saranac Lake for a permanent version. She raised a third item about reproducing 'Keene Welcome all' signs beneath existing town welcome signs. Supervisor Joe Pete Wilson reminded the committee that "we need a DOT permit for anything permanent," underscoring a regulatory step before installation.
