Livsey can sign contract
The Town Board authorized Supervisor Bob Livsey to sign a 27 page contract with the New York Power Authority last week — it’s a “starting point” with the utility company to make the switch over to LED streetlights.
The contract he will be signing does not include any financial specifics on the project, nor any specifics on the types of lights that will eventually be installed.
“This is just the basic contract — a ‘customer project commitment’ — that allows you to start negotiating,” Town Attorney Justin Rider said. “For the next contract you’ll have ironed out the particulars.”
While the motion to allow Livsey to sign the contract was in the midst of being adopted (all four board members in attendance voted yes), Fort Montgomery’s Deborah Kopald was in the audience loudly encouraging the board not to move forward with the project.
“Nobody I’ve talked to wants these lights, Bob,” she said, as the motion passed.
