Anybody watch the meeting held last Friday.?
It should make the “news” at some point in time.

Anybody know how to repair stuff and/or perform preventive maintenance?
Ya can most likely have an ORDA career if ya wanna.
Who knows zippy-coaster-thingymaintenance?

ORDA has recently spent a lot cash on new and upgraded stuff.
They want and need to maintain it properly.

There was quite a bit of discussion on the proprosed resolution.
There were some other gems in that meeting about beer vendors and other stuff.

For anyone who watched the meeting or has info beyond what's in the reporting, does this bit...

She said the authority is trying to ascertain how long it will take Johnsburg to complete its wastewater disposal system that the lodge would hook into. The municipal disposal lines and treatment plant may be finished in the spring, she said. The authority is trying to figure out whether it wants to commit to paying for a temporary alternative—sending up to 12,000 gallons of wastewater daily into holding tanks and then trucking the material to a disposal plant in Queensbury.

... mean they haven't actually decided whether the new lodge will open this winter?

I don't even know what to say because I don't know where to start.

The plan is, we don’t have a plan.

Exactly! Unless I'm misunderstanding things they're basically saying they can't do the job they were hired to do? So bizarre and seemingly those in charge are fine with it.

The rumor is they are still working on the interior of the new building and they will open Ski Bowl with the old lodge.

In the meantime it’s just let the Good Times Roll

The shows must go on unless they're cancelled.
