St. Armand board authorizes contract to buy Paul Smith’s College well field, contingent on WQIP grant
Summary
The board authorized the town supervisor to sign a $300,000 contract to purchase a well-field from Paul Smith’s College if a WQIP grant is awarded; the resolution passed by roll call with one recusal.
The St. Armand Town Board adopted Resolution #36 on April 15 authorizing Supervisor Davina Thurston to sign a purchase agreement for the town’s well-field from Paul Smith’s College for $300,000, contingent on receiving a Water Quality Improvement Project (WQIP) grant.
Councilperson Donna Whitelaw moved the resolution, which the board approved by roll-call vote with Thurston, Deputy Supervisor Karl Law and Whitelaw voting AYE; Councilperson Sheridan Swinyer recused and JP O'Neil was excused. Meeting materials and a public notice referenced an ADK Explorer article noting the proposed purchase.
Town officials said the purchase is tied to capital projects and future water system improvement funding; specific closing dates and grant conditions were described in the contract language presented to the board. The town will not proceed with purchase unless the stated grant award is obtained.
