Cold Spring approves $51.16/hour for water consultant’s storm response

The Village of Cold Spring Board of Trustees approved payment to consultant Ryan Carozza at a rate of $51.16 per hour for eight hours of on‑site process-control and water production work performed on July 9, 2026. The vote (3-0-0-2) followed a recommendation from Water & Wastewater Superintendent Matt Kroog that Carozza be paid the Superintendent hourly rate because "the licenses held is the same" and the work was distinct from Carozza's contracted backup wastewater operations.
