Board authorizes supervisor to execute documents to accept Gore Village water main
Summary
The board approved a resolution authorizing the Town Supervisor to execute documents needed for NYSDOT permitting and to accept a short section of water main into the town's Water District for Gore Village; members requested clarified language that the town will assume ownership and maintenance for the DOT right‑of‑way segment.
The Johnsburg Town Board approved a resolution enabling the Town Supervisor to sign documents required for the New York State Department of Transportation permit process so Gore Village can obtain water service. The measure authorizes the supervisor to execute necessary documents and clarifies that the town will accept ownership and maintenance responsibility for the section of water main located in the NYSDOT right‑of‑way.
During discussion board members asked that language from the applicant’s 2A letter be incorporated into the resolution so it clearly states the town will assume ownership and maintenance of the installed infrastructure within the DOT right‑of‑way. The Chair summarized that the DOT required the town to adopt the water main before a DOT permit can be issued; with the clarified wording the board voted to move forward.
The motion was moved and seconded and passed by voice vote. Staff were directed to add the 2A wording to the final resolution and return a finalized document for the Supervisor’s signature.
