Denning board signs stream‑management MOU; Riley Brook work postponed over long‑eared bat concerns
Summary
The Denning Town Board unanimously signed a memorandum of understanding with the Rondout Neversink Stream Program; the Riley Brook project was postponed after staff identified concerns about a long‑eared bat species. The MOU also covers local flood analyses for Frost Valley and Saw Mill roads.
Supervisor David Brooks and the Town Board voted unanimously on May 13 to sign a Memorandum of Understanding with the Rondout Neversink Stream Program to implement stream management plans and local flood hazard mitigation. Stacie Howell, program coordinator for the Rondout Neversink Stream Program, told the board the plan covers multiple local projects and recommended formalizing cooperation with the town.
Howell reported that "the project at Riley Brook is postponed due to an issue regarding long‑eared bat species in the area," and outlined upcoming work including Local Flood Analyses for Frost Valley Road and Saw Mill Road. Councilman Scott Mickelson moved to sign the MOU and Councilman Gregory Vurckio seconded; the motion passed on a unanimous roll call vote. The board did not set a revised timeline for Riley Brook during the meeting.
