January 2024 - Environmental Protection Committee

The Onondaga County Legislature's Environmental Protection Committee met on January 23, 2024, to discuss several procurement and capital improvement projects related to the county's sanitary district. Key agenda items included bond resolutions to fund infrastructure projects such as the Camillus Force Main improvements (phase two), pump station upgrades, pipeline replacements, and the White Pine Route 31 sewer expansion to support anticipated municipal development. The committee reviewed the status of these projects, which are part of the approved 2024-2029 capital plan, and discussed property acquisitions and district boundary considerations necessary for sewer expansion. Motions to approve the bond resolutions for these projects were made, seconded, and passed unanimously. The meeting also covered ongoing asset renewal efforts and the prioritization of infrastructure investments based on maintenance data and functional assessments.
