Task force resolves unauthorized trail material placement on Kellogg parcel; DPW to move material

Dryden Rail Trail Task Force · July 20, 2026

Summary

Task force members agreed the simplest remedy for DPW placing trail material on the Kellogg parcel without an easement is to have DPW relocate that material to the authorized alignment at no charge and preserve original invoices so EPF/TAP reimbursement remains valid.

At the July 20 meeting, Todd Bner described an oversight where DPW placed trail material on the Kellogg parcel, a location not covered by the task force's easement. "Some of that material got put then in a place that wasn't authorized," he said, and explained that because the work uses New York State EPF funds as match for a TAP grant, the eligible work must be shown to follow the approved specifications and authorized alignment.

Todd and other project managers recommended — and staff will pursue — having DPW move the material to the authorized location without charging the task force, and to use the original invoices and time records as documentation so the costs remain eligible for EPF/DOT reimbursement. A subcontractor proposal was obtained to mark property edges and center lines so DPW can identify where material should be relocated.
