A public hearing was set for January 27 to discuss the city’s Community Development Block Grant Action Plan.
The council voted 4-1 to approve a change order for $977, 900 for the biosolid dryer and other improvements at the wastewater treatment facility. Councilor Locastro voted against the measure.
The council asked the Governor to develop, adopt and implement without further delay a Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) comprehensive watershed clean-up plan for Owasco Lake and that the NYS DEC’s draft 2022 303(d) Impaired Waterbody Registry be changed to classify Owasco Lake accordingly.
