Saratoga Springs “Morning Call” wakes you up with the top stories from the Dispatch and other news outlets in the area.
Tang’s new logo
Skidmore’s Tang museum has a new logo to go with its 25th anniversary, the Daily Gazette is reporting. The logo is a series of four rectangles arranged as stairs make up the logo that officials hope will one day be iconic for the museum. The logo is “a nod” to the staircases at the Tang, to the bricks that make up the building and to artistic proportion and size.
Civilian Review Board up and running
Saratoga Springs’ Civilian Review Board is almost ready to start work, about four years after the board was first created, the Times Union is reporting. The five-member board provides oversight of city police. They have been trained in mediation, the story says, and their first charge will be to figure out just how they will operate, and they have formed a subcommittee to work with IT staff to have a stronger presence on the city’s website.

The state Senate has twice passed legislation that would set road salt targets, but it gets no traction in the Assembly. The conflict over implementation asks if the task force or committee that would be created to oversee the targets and actions taken by municipalities is the best way to administer the program, a story in the Adirondack Explorer says.

The Department of Environmental Conservation has cited the Olympic Regional Development Authority saying that work crews improperly toppled trees, violated its storm water discharge permit and created pathways wider than it proposed. Starting work under a proposed, but as yet unapproved, draft was itself a violation, the story says.
