Genesee Lakes Utility District

Meetings: 2nd Thursday of month on as needed basis

In response to the high lake levels on Lower and Middle Genesee Lakes and resulting flooding of June and July, 2008, the Town of Summit applied for Community Development Block Grant monies for a permanent outlet structure on Lower Genesee Lake. The Town was notified that the application was approved for up to $506,000 of grant money from the federal Community Development Block Grant. Previous discussions indicated that the most reasonable mechanism for collection of these remaining costs will be through a Utility District. After consideration of this issue at the September 3, 2009 Town Board meeting, the group directed staff to prepare a resolution for consideration and possible action.
