OGDENSBURG – A resolution that would have allowed the city manager to execute a lease with the Ogdensburg Bridge and Port Authority failed to pass Monday.
Ogdensburg City Councilors Dan Skamperle, Michael Powers and Nichole Kennedy voted against the leasing the property citing a lack of information regarding the total cost and concerns over spending.
Deputy Mayor John Rishe urged his fellow councilors to support the measure as the city recently unanimously passed a resolution supporting opening the beach in July.
Last week officials met with the OBPA to make a proposal to lease the beach area for a total cost of $3,000. The lease deal would run from July to September.
