GURNEY LANE POOL PROJECT DISCUSSION
The Director updated the Commission regarding the status of the
Gurney Lane Pool Project and there was discussion regarding ways to
trim the project. The Commission was informed by Councilman Morrell
that the Town Board officially rejected all bids for the project at
their November 22nd meeting.
Both Town Councilmen re-affirmed that the primary reason the Board
rejected all the bids was because the bids received were so overpriced.
The Board is still very much in favor of the project to revitalize the
Gurney Lane Recreation Area and will hopefullyre-bid the project later
this year.
There was also discussion on Round Pond and the status of the
Town's deliberation with the owner. The Councilmen advised the Com-
mission that the Town was still in negotations with Mr. Russo and that
there had been no movement, either up or down, from the initial asking
price.
The Commission unanimously suggested that the Chairman initiate
a letter to the Town Board on behalf of the Commission reaffirming
their continued support for the Gurney Lane project and their hope
that the project can be re-bid as soon as feasible.
