School still awaiting payment for use of fields during Olympics
SARANAC LAKE - Nearly nine months after the 1980 Winter Olympics, the Saranac Lake Central School District is still waiting to be paid for the use of its athletic fields.
School Superintendent Ernest Seifried announced Wednesday that yet another delay had been encountered in receiving payment. The Department of Transportation, which leased the fields from the school district, owes the school $12,500 for use of the fields as peripheral parking lots during the Winter Games.
The Transportation Department sent a letter to Seifried stating that payment was being withheld because state maps of the fields showed that the boundary lines presently used are incorrect. The state said that part of the land used for peripheral parking actually belonged to Stephen Story of Fairview Avenue.
In order to expedite the matter, the school had the fields resurveyed to insure that the fence surrounding the land actually enclosed only school property. The survey showed that the fence in the area in question was actually 11 feet inside school property at one corner, and 20 feet inside the property line at the other.
Seifried said that he had spoken with Story prior to the surveying, and Story had agreed to deed any land which belonged to him but was inside the fence to the school at no cost to the district, except for surveying expenses.
Seifried said that the survey results, along with the papers necessary to secure payment, had been sent to the state Several weeks ago, but that no response had been received.
