LAKEWOOD The Lakewood Village Board met Monday and approved the Memorandum of Understanding in regards to Chautauqua Lake.
The MOU was unveiled May 5 by County Executive PJ Wendel in a press conference in Mayville. The MOU is an update to the 2019 Chautauqua Lake agreement, which expired at the end of April.
The purpose of the MOU is for the numerous Chautauqua Lake stakeholders to work together to keep Chautauqua Lake economically and ecologically healthy. As was the case with the MOA, the MOU will have a two-year term.
The MOU was sent to the village board prior to Monday’s regular meeting, and the board unanimously agreed for Mayor Randy Holcomb to sign and execute the MOU.
Four local heroes were honored during this week’s Chautauqua County Legislature meeting.
County Executive PJ Wendel issued four separate Certificates of Recognition to Steve Smouse, Mia Goot, Joe Pollaro and Arden Johnson.
Smouse is the first assistant chief of the Lakewood Fire Department. On March 11, there was a structure fire at 2481 and 2477 Keller Road in Busti. One home was destroyed and another was severely damaged. Seventy-eight individuals responded to the call, which impacted eight structures total. Smouth coordinated the response.
“This is an example of strong work ethic, leadership, and community dedication,” Wendel said.
Goot was honored for rescuing a Portland man from the Barcelona Harbor on March 29. “Heroics acts like this inspire kindness and solidarity across Chautauqua County. Her heroic actions are appreciated not only by the residents, myself but also the individual, whose life she saved,” Wendel said.
