Resident raises boundary dispute after town crew places culvert near Campbell line
Summary
Dolores Crooker told the Town Board that a culvert installed next to her Savona‑Campbell Road property sits partly in the Town of Campbell; Supervisor Michael Volino and Highway Superintendent Ben Smith said the parcel is split between towns and the owner paid for the pipe. The board said a formal policy may be needed for future boundary repairs.
Dolores Crooker told the Town Board during public comment that the highway crew installed a culvert pipe on adjoining property that she says is in the Town of Campbell along Savona‑Campbell Road. Town Supervisor Michael Volino said the parcel is confusingly split, with the residence on the Thurston side and a small portion in Campbell; Highway Superintendent Ben Smith said the town placed the culvert on a road that is on Thurston's inventory and that the property owner paid for the pipe.
The board discussed the need for a written policy to address work near municipal boundaries going forward; Volino said he would draft one. The exchange did not result in a formal vote. The account provided by Crooker and the town officials' responses were recorded in the meeting minutes.
