Residents raise waste moratorium, grant and DEC concerns during Rathbone public comment
Summary
During public comment, board members and residents discussed whether to continue a moratorium on spreading waste, a missing stone rake, a Salt Storage Shed grant application, housing-improvement grant work, and DEC-mandated fencing and dumpster changes; the supervisor said DEC requirements prevented advertising.
Multiple residents and board members spoke during the public-comment period on May 7 about operational and grant-related matters. Councilwoman Rachael Davis asked whether the moratorium on spreading waste needs to continue; Pam Morseman asked about a missing stone rake; Councilman Eric Bump requested a copy of the Salt Storage Shed grant application; and Supervisor Russell Morseman III and Brian Brewer agreed to work with Davis on housing-improvement grant plans.
A resident, Jason Oberther, questioned why changes to fencing and dumpster usage were rushed; Supervisor Morseman responded that "the DEC came out and made requirements and there wasn’t time to advertise." The minutes note Lanny Newell reported that the town used a drone to survey a couple of roads. No formal board action was taken on these public comments during the meeting.
