3.    Resolution # 5 Grant for Existing Bathhouse at Lisbon Beach/Campground

Supervisor Watters express his concerns on the existing old bathhouse at the Lisbon Beach/Campground as it is in very poor conditions.   The building is in need of complete renovation, as it will not meet current building codes and the Department of Health is working with us to resolve this situation. The building was built in the 70's and needs to be replaced. Supervisor Watters would like to file for an application for funds from the New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation in accordance with the provisions of Title 9 of the Environmental Protection Act of 1993 or the Federal Land and Water Conservation Fund Act of 1965, in an amount not exceed $500,000.00 (Five Hundred Thousand Dollars).

This would be phase one with the completion would allow us to move onto phase two and three, which we hope to complete within five years.

Used of the facility fully support the towns efforts in replace the old bathhouse.

We also received several letters from a couple of campers concerning the campground and letters from State Senator Wright and St. Lawrence County Legislator David W. Forsythe, District 2.
