Village of Owego Board Meeting 07/06/2026
Published: Jul 6, 2026
Village Adopts Bond Resolution to Finance New Firefighter Turnout Gear
The village is moving forward with procuring new turnout gear for the fire department by adopting a bond resolution. This resolution authorizes the village to finance the purchase of the gear. The process involves separating the financing authorization from the actual purchase authorization to ensure compliance with procurement policies and confirmation of piggybacking off existing contracts. The gear is deemed necessary due to an increase in volunteer numbers.
New York Health Act, Universal Healthcare Plan, Advances in Legislature
The New York Health Act, a universal healthcare plan, is progressing through state legislative health committees. It aims to cover all residents regardless of income, age, or employment status, providing comprehensive medical benefits. The plan is partially funded by federal monies and a progressive tax on income, with exemptions for the first $25,000 of income and for Medicare recipients. It seeks to eliminate private insurance middlemen and administrative costs, allowing for direct decision-making between patients and doctors. The act could potentially lower village employee healthcare costs and provide stability to the EMS budget by ensuring reimbursement for services.
Sewer Department Reports Septic Waste Volume and Operational Updates
The sewer department reported receiving 512,000 gallons of septic waste for $39,000 in a month. An electronic pump has arrived, and wastewater sampling for POS has begun. Work is underway on the gravity belt.
Wheelchair Accessibility Concerns Raised for Lake Street
The village is addressing the issue of wheelchair accessible ramps along Lake Street. Following the removal of islands, it was noted that wheelchair cutouts were not replaced, creating a safety hazard for individuals with mobility challenges who must travel long distances to access the street. The matter has been brought to the attention of village officials.
Evergreen Cemetery Gazebo Renovation Underway with Donations
Discussions are ongoing regarding the renovation of the gazebo at Evergreen Cemetery. Les Wagner is donating funds and overseeing the carpentry work, including the replacement of the roof and six spindles at a cost of $55 per spindle, totaling $330. The Friends of Evergreen Cemetery will cover the cost of the spindles. The goal is to have the gazebo fully refurbished by the end of fall. Documentation of donations and work is required for village records and insurance purposes.
